Dear students, parents, caregivers and staff,<\/p>\n
It\u2019s hard to believe it has already been a year since students left on the Friday before Spring Break, but were then asked to stay home longer as the first wave of COVID-19 started to really affect our communities. And wow, what a year this has been.<\/p>\n
It hasn\u2019t been easy \u2013 and I say that both as a Superintendent, but also as a dad with three of my own kids in school right now. That said, it\u2019s also been a powerful lesson in what\u2019s possible, when people come together.<\/p>\n
I am so grateful for all the staff who have rallied and continue to make sure students are getting access to all of the vital supports and growth opportunities our schools offer. I\u2019m thankful to see parents and families working hard to follow guidelines, doing their part to keep our schools as safe as possible. And I\u2019m proud to see how our students are continuing to grow \u2013 the creativity that has shone, the engagement they are showing in their learning, and the overall resilience we\u2019ve seen as they navigate this altered year.<\/p>\n
This is also an opportune time to share a few resources you might find helpful:<\/p>\n
Now, as we head into Spring Break in this unusual year, a reminder to families that it\u2019s important that the travel or other plans you may have respects the guidelines in place. We know you\u2019re working hard to do your part. Thank you. We continue to appreciate that as we look forward to what should be a strong finish to the school year.<\/p>\n
