Have a Safe Summer!
Have a Safe Summer!

Dear Parents,

To support learning over the two week closure, teachers have created a suggested list of activities for your use. These activities are optional, however participating in them will help students maintain skills.  Please view the Pre K (SupplementalLearningActivitiesPreK.pdf) K-2 (SupplementalLearningActivitiesK-2ndGrade.pdf) and the 3-5 (SupplementalLearningOpportunities3rd-5thGrade.pdf) Supplemental Learning Opportunities. Resources are arranged by subject area and login and password information is included. These activities are meant to be a fun way to review and maintain information learned. Parent encouragement is much appreciated.

Please note, that the closing of school is to minimize the impact of COVID-19 in our community. It is important to adhere to the governor's request to avoid large gatherings.  If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me at colellac@region-12.org. 

Be safe and stay healthy!

Sincerely,

Cathy Colella
