Families:
We look forward to engaging with you at our first-ever virtual Open House on Thursday, September 17, 2020, beginning at 6:00 PM. Your child's teacher will provide you with specific video conference information for the evening's event. And afterwards, be sure to log on to our school's website to view a special staff video, welcoming your family to the 2020-2021 school year.
While we wish that we could host this event "live" and greet you in person, we trust that our virtual "meet and greet" sessions will bring us together as we partner with you throughout the school year. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact your child's teacher.
Shout out to Ms. Davis for conducting an excellent virtual Science experiment with her students this week via video conferencing! The "Elephant Toothpaste" looks amazing, Ms. Davis!
From practicing name writing to self portraits, we are proud of the learning that is occurring with our students! Thank you to Alaysia, Makai, and Nehemiah for their great work this week. We miss you and look forward to seeing you in person at Algonquin!
