Dear Tuscan Family~
We are intensely preparing for a safe and smooth transition to in person hybrid instruction while diligently working to maintain the positive momentum of our all virtual instructional program.
We appreciate your outstanding work in support of teaching and learning and your voice and insights are highly valued. Please know that we deeply care and we are concern about the health, safety and well-being of Tuscan Children. We invite and welcome parent involvement. If you have any questions or concerns about any aspect of your child’s Tuscan experience, please feel free to contact your child’s teacher or ROARforTuscan@somsd.k12.nj.us.
