Parents As Partners #PARENTSASPARTNERS
I continue to be thankful for all the support at home that students are receiving! Your guidance, time and energy you spend with your child to navigate this ever changing landscape in our new digital classroom is VERY APPRECIATED!
We are PARTNERS in this together....more than ever, and I am only an email and text away. If for any reason you need to reach out for clarity and understanding to help guide your 6th grader, please don't hesitate.
As a Mom of two.....I understand that these past six weeks have pulled us ALL in a variety of directions! My words for this week - PERSISTENCE, PATIENCE, and POSITIVE THINKING!
