We’ve Got This!
A note for students, parents, teachers, and everyone else on the first day of distance-learning.
Attention all students, teachers, parents, educators, and community members, good luck with the start of the school year!
Whatever this school year brings, we are smart, resilient, and determined to succeed. Adapting to overcome obstacles is nothing new to us.
We may be in the middle of a pandemic, but we are still going to educate our youth.
Of course, there will be challenges. There will be the usual first day of school logistical hiccups, but now add technology (Zoom, Google Classroom, Clever, iReady, and much more) into the mix along with adjusting to untraditional routine that comes with trying to do school from home. Some days will be painful and you’ll want to give up (trust me, I’ve been there), but we will persist.
It may be daunting, but we can do this. For the sake of our youth, and the future, we will.
