We want to thank all the parents who are working along side their children during this time. It is a lot of work. We are all learning each day and then it changes. You parents are the SUPERSTARS. Thank you! Students have been encouraged to make a poster thanking those who are essential workers, who have to be out each day. We are still in need of those. Please keep sending them. We have many people in our school community that are on the front lines each day. Thank you for your sacrifice and commitment. We could not continue without you. The Kindergarten teachers are sending a lot of work to your children. If your child becomes overwhelmed or it is just too much, please take a break. If you can only do a few things, have your child watch each video lesson and complete the assignment to be graded. The rest of the activities are good to do but please do not overwhelm yourself and your child. Please reach out to your child's teacher if you need anything or have any concerns. Thank you again for all you are doing at home and at work.

Kindergarten Team Ms. Curtis, Ms. Gregory, Ms. Herbert & Ms. Derfler
