Home Learning for Families

Feb. 15, 2022

As we navigate these strange pandemic times, we realize that there are periods of time that students will not be in attendance at school. Your child's teacher is working hard to ensure continuity of learning for those times when students are home sick or isolating, but they feel well enough to do some work. Caregivers can contact the office to request work from their child's teacher in these instances.

In the meantime, here are some resources and that may assist you in providing learning opportunities for your child while at home. We will be adding more as we go along, so please check back if you are looking for something for a certain grade level or topic.
