Dear Sundance Families,
As we enter our last week before break, I'd like to pause and thank all of you for your ongoing communication with our teachers and staff, the time you spend checking your child's work and ensuring that your child is logged into zoom sessions, the quality time you spend with your child, and all that you are doing to make sure your child is ready to learn every day. I know it is not an easy time and I appreciate all of you very much.
