December 18 - Happy Holidays

I believe we are at the Crux of the Pandemic - to learn why, watch the video below (it's at the end)

On Tuesday, this video message will be the focus in the PA Family communication. It highlights some positive things from the semester (though not all) and reminds parents to keep up the hard work with following guidelines. I thank them for their effort to help us keep school open and ask for their continued participation. Please don't share until after Tuesday. Thanks, and thanks for your hard work, unbelievable flexibility and persistence during this incredibly hard time. I appreciate your creative, positive and fun spirit, which helped us get this far and overpowers a lot of challenge.

Updates:

- Food Boxes: we will be providing food boxes for families during
the break. The school will be reaching out directly to families to arrange pick up or delivery. You do not need to communicate this message, this is an FYI. But, if you know of a family in need, please check the name with Michele to assure that we have included them in the process.

- Second Quarter / Semester 1 Grading Timeline

-Parent Communication: This year we have consistently been sending out a parent communication, usually on a weekly basis. If you are interested in seeing what this communication has to offer there are two ways for you to check it out. 1. Subscribe to the News & Announcements through the website or 2. Go directly to the PA website.
