This is the letter that was or will be emailed out to you today:
Dear Parents/Guardians, It has been great connecting with all of you over this past week. This email is to inform you as to how you can access the homework postings for the coming weeks. As this is a new situation for everyone, at this time we are not certain about how students will be submitting their completed work, but we will let you know once we have further direction. Below is a link to an article we believe to be informative about education during these unprecedented times (it is by no means put out by CBE, but an opinion piece that we came across in the news and thought might be helpful for some families during this time, and offer another perspective): https://nypost.com/2020/03/29/coronavirus-is-providing-the-course-correction-kids-desperately-needed/?utm_source=facebook_sitebuttons&utm_medium=site+buttons&utm_campaign=site+buttons&fbclid=IwAR13zJL3164KPcbM0Qjz1rcF7b3mGMjUxtsnnKXJ4uMSodVv0fS4STZ6OIU We would like to remind you that we absolutely believe in the importance of academics. That being said, we want to emphasize that mental health is just as important during these times. Please continue to monitor your child’s well-being during this challenging time. Routines are also important to help offer stability during times of change or stress which is why we are only requiring 1 hour of homework each day. Also, as teachers, we are concerned about long periods of screen time for children. We will be offering extension activities in addition to assigned work, these are suggestions that you can use to help promote your child’s learning based on activities that we would conduct in class. They are by NO means mandatory and we do NOT expect children to be online for extended periods of time. Online Learning Access:
