Peters Canyon Playbook
August 7 | Staff Edition
Hi!
It's the WEEKEND!
Beyond excited to start another wonderful school year with each of you! Unfortunately, we are starting remotely, but hopefully will be back together very soon!
You might be flooded with different emotions as many of you spent the past two days digging into our new curricular tools. Take a deep breath, remember this is temporary, and that it's totally normal to mourn our "old" ways. We have an amazing PCE teacher on the TUSD Curriculum Team who have dedicated endless hours to exploring, learning, and building resources for us. THANK YOU, DAWN!
This year will be unlike ANY we have seen, but I know we will all approach it with grit, hard work, and compassion. I know the students are thrilled to see you all and return to the familiarity of school, trusted adults, and their friends. In uncertain times, the work you do couldn't be more vital and important. Stress, anxiety and worry are normal for us all. Make sure to practice self-care and give yourself grace - we will do this TOGETHER!

Suggested School Supplies
