Hello parents and classes — Happy New Year! With two weeks left in the semester, we have been asked to prepare for possible “functional” school closures. This could mean that we do not have enough staff to operate the school or that there could be a covid outbreak in our class. I am hoping none of this happens, but it is important that we prepare for possible online learning. To make this transition as seamless as possible. I am now moving all of our communication to MS Teams and I will no longer be using the website for the rest of the semester. If you are not able to log onto Teams, please contact me to help you. Teams will have updated daily agendas and assignment information.
Thank you,
Ms. D’Angelo
