Hello dear students and families,<\/p>\n

I am missing you all a whole bunch!  I am disappointed to not be able to spend time with you in class, and miss your joyfulness, silliness, creative brilliance and thoughtfulness.<\/p>\n

I am sure we are all feeling the strangeness of this time.  Staying home for our own health and the well-being of our community is incredibly important, but includes many challenges as well.  I truly hope that you are all safe, healthy, and finding ways to feel hopeful and creative in these weeks we are away from school. <\/p>\n

I will be reaching out by phone tomorrow (Tuesday) to check in with students and parents. <\/strong> I will be checking in about the electronic technology you will have access to for learning, and any other concerns you wish to share.   <\/p>\n

Teachers and staff are taking this week to figure out what continuity of learning looks like.  I hope to give you project ideas that you can try on your own, to offer journal prompts, to share videos and interesting readings, and to interact with you online through our blog, email and online video conferencing.  Please reach out to me through email whenever you have any questions, and I will answer them to the best of my ability.<\/p>\n

Teachers and administration are working to plan learning materials this week.  The school district has been prepared a website with grade level activities, called the Continuing Learning Website.  This can be found at: https:\/\/learning.burnabyschools.ca\/<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Intermediate students already have an Office 365 Outlook email account through the District.  We have not yet used this email account in Division 2, but it will be a useful tool for us at this time.  Please take some time to set up the account following the instructions on the Continuing Learning Website.  It is likely that students do not know their pupil numbers yet, so during our phone calls tomorrow, I will provide them to each of you.<\/strong><\/p>\n

At this point, we do \"\"not know when students will have access to the school building to pick up personal items.  We will be working on a plan to do this in the most responsible way. <\/p>\n

Thank you for being the wonderful people you are, Division 2!  Be kind to your families and to yourselves too.  Take time to rest and check in with how you are feeling.  Reach out to the people around you if you need support.  This is a tricky time, and adults might not have all the answers, but we care about you so very much!<\/p>\n

P.S.  Gillbird is doing just fine.  \ud83d\ude0a <\/p>\n
