Dear Parents,

Although there were clear struggles, we also grew closer to our families and students, and became a tighter knit school community! Thank you for being our partner and for your unending support.

We are hoping to be able to start in-person learning on Wednesdays if transmission and positivity rates stabilize after this break.
