Dear Parents,
When we entered remote learning back in March, I never thought this would be the long stretch that it has been. I must say, I was doubtful that remote learning would work for our students, but also for our teachers and parents. Would we be able to adapt so abruptly to such a new style of learning?
During the last 3 months, I’ve continued to be amazed on how all of you made this work. We forged through this together and the support I witnessed for each other was far above my expectations. Not only have we made it – we’ve made it successfully. Thanks to all of you and your efforts and continued commitment.
Looking ahead, I am still quite unsure what the 2020-2021 school year will look like. I do know September will be completely different not only for teachers and staff, but especially for our students. Once we get more clarity and an official decision is made on what September 2020 will look like, I will relay that message to all of you. Please be mindful that every student’s schedule will be unique. As of right now, Chancellor Carranza is pushing for “blending learning” in the upcoming school year. This means incorporating both in-person learning and remote learning for our students. However, just like this past year has taught us, things can change instantly. It is extremely important to check our school website throughout the summer for updates. Please be patient and just know that all future decisions made will be for the best interest of your child.
Reminder:
Once again, I would like to thank you for a fantastic unprecedented school year. I am confident we will embrace whatever learning environment implemented and ensure that our students, your children, learn to their fullest potential. Have an awesome, well-deserved restful and fun summer… and remember FAMILY FIRST!
Sincerely,
Vincent Gatto
