Week Nov. 22 – 26 Learning Resource
Message from Teachers
Hello Parents!
Hope you are braving the winds while adjusting to our November weather.
This week is a short week as we are closed this Thursday and Friday for the Thanksgiving Holiday. Please check your emails, texts, and voice mails from your child’s Teacher. We are all working to communicate with you the best way we can and your input is very important to us. We value your thoughts as we work towards in person re opening. If you celebrate Thanksgiving, we hope you enjoy this special time with family and friends!
