STABILITYBusiness as Usual

calls, and group meetings but providing consistency and stability we all need right
now. We are proud to continue ourmission to educate our students and
prepare them for academic success andresponsible, productive lives.
ADAPTABILITYSuccessful Transition
We were ready to shift to virtual learning and so were our students! While already
using virtual learning in certain subjects -it made for a smooth transition. Others
scrambled to come up with a plan but wewere able to pivot and be flexible. Our
team continues to learn new techniquesand modes of communication that best fit
our students needs.
COMMUNITYVirtual Gatherings
Staying connected is important and notjust for learning but for FUN! We continue
to hold Community Homeroom, haveathletic practices, offer game night,
daily workout sessions and Facebook LiveFamily Challenges. Our food service
provider, Flik, is preparing home-cookedmeals for families. School goes
beyond books, it's also the bond we have with each other.
