Welcome to week 2

We hope you all enjoyed the snow day we had Monday. Teachers took the time to organize lessons and make plans for the upcoming weeks.

We have a few questions about what is working and what is not. We wonder how much time we should spend together in face-to-face schedule Zoom classes. We wonder how to help students who need someone to sit with them and talk through the work. We wonder how to work with everyone’s unique daily schedule. We wonder what kinds of interesting and productive activities kids are doing when they aren’t working on assignments. How can we incorporate the opportunities that being at home offer?

We also wonder how long we might have to learn this way. Some people are saying we might be back to school after April spring break. Others are saying we might not be back this school year. Some nearby private schools and many colleges have already canceled the rest of the academic year until summer break. What will happen is yet to be seen.

With this in mind teachers have focused on programming for students for the next two weeks leading up to Spring Break. We will take the break for the previously scheduled days.

As always, please let us know your feedback, ideas, suggestions, complaints, We are here to support and help you in whatever ways you need at this time. We are all figuring this out together, and there is no right way yet. Thanks for your patience and support.
