Dear Parents,
It would be remiss of me to not acknowledge that this past year has been incredibly challenging for families and for students. As we enter the second semester, for many there is a sense of reaching the mid-point of the year. For others, they feel the burden of this still being a struggle that could go on for a long time still.
While we have successfully created a bubble where our precious students experience life that resembles ‘normal’, there are many things that are missing. As educators, we are well-aware of the negative impact the changes that have been imposed upon us could have on your children.
