February 26, 2021


We've had a great week!  The children coming to school are acclimating well and the energy is positive all around the school!  We are working out the kinks in balancing the cohorts so please have patience with everyone involved!  The children have been introduced to our first vertebrate group and we're looking forward to seeing some great fish projects presented this week!

The daily schedule has changed for all students!  Please see the schedule below to stay up to date on meetings.  Printing a copy would be beneficial for all care givers!


Classroom Buddies!  Each child has been assigned a friend in a different cohort to help them to stay on task and offer assistance when needed. They can find their buddy partners in their messages on It's Learning.

Return to Learn Students!

Please be certain that your child either leaves their computer at school or charges it nightly at home and remembers to bring it each day.  We are trying to keep the in-school students off line and using materials as much as possible but they will need to log into explorations each day and they will also need to complete follow up work daily on line.
