August 13, 2020 Lower School Principal Message And we are off! The campus has come to life and the students have returned both excited and ready to learn (see photos at the very bottom); we are all enthusiastic about the year to come! Please make sure you always skim through this principal message. Some information may be repetitive, but we try to keep it brief and highlight important information.
We transition to Distance Learning on Wednesday. All learning is communicated via Seesaw. On Tuesday afternoon you'll receive your child's learning kit with everything you need for Distance Learning through August 28. This kit will include a print with directions about how to access your Seesaw account. You can learn more about Seesaw and what distance learning will look like by viewing the recordings of this week's Parent Trainings linked below.
As we transition into Level 3 and Distance Learning it is so very important to stay connected. I invite you to our first Lower School Principal Coffee on August 27 to check in on how things are going at home.
Aloha, Leah
PLACARDS IN CARS - while on campus for pick up Make sure you keep the placard in your car so we can easily help your child after school and effortlessly find you in the loop. Thanks.
