Cher parents,

The email that I had prepared to be sent out tonight was much different than the one to follow. I felt a little sad seeing all the fun events and activities we had planned for your children. However, the situation with covid-19 has completely turned all our lives upside down.

I hope you are all healthy, both physically and mentally.

As you have all heard, students will not be returning to work  but teachers are on Monday.

I’m hoping you received the district email earlier this week outlining what things will look like starting next week.

If not, here is the link https://burnabyschools.ca/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/Update-to-Families-March-27-2020.pdf

On Monday, we will have a phone conversation with Mr. Gurney. After that,  families will be contacted by myself and Mme. Giugliani as we do a check in with you.

At the moment, we know as much as you do in terms of what our role will be starting Monday! In fact, we only received information on Friday! This is all new territory for us, especially since Mme. Jenny is to begin her practicum in 3 short weeks. Please bear with us as we acquire information and communicate with you.

As you all know, Mr. Gurney will be leaving us April 1st and we will welcome Navdeep to the Brantford Team.

If you have any questions, please check the district or school website

Mme. Giugliani and I will be in touch with you next week sometime. In the meantime, feel free to browse the classroom website if you’d like to have your child start reviewing French concepts as there is ample information on there. The youtube link will bring you to all the Chantons we have learned so feel free to review those in the meantime.

Enjoy the last day of Spring Break tomorrow!

– Mme. Giugliani and Mme. Marando
