March 19 Updates

Hello families,

We hope you are all staying safe and healthy during this difficult time and want you to know the school just isn't the same without all your children's smiling faces.

At this time we are waiting for more updates on what learning will look like moving forward and will have more information to share after the break. At this time continue using Raz Kids, Prodigy, Home Reading, and accessing any of the learning sites posted on the blog.

Stay safe and have a good break!

Miss Waters and Ms. Gill
