Please read the attached letter from Mrs. Hubbard. Tomorrow all students in grades 2-4 will again stay home. Today, teachers worked with Mrs. Hubbard to determine contact tracing as well as plans for going forward. Tomorrow, we will be working on detailed plans for next week. While we have challenges ahead of us with organizing substitute teachers, dual teaching (live and virtual), revising schedules and more, we assure you that we will do all that we can to provide the best education that we can. We ask for your patience as we work out details.
Tomorrow, we will provide a virtual schedule for 2nd grade which will take effect on Monday, December 7. For any other students who might also be at home next week teachers will send links to join classes virtually as needed. A virtual assignment sheet will also be provided.
Thank you for being the wonderful St. Clare families that you are! We truly appreciate your cooperation!
Mrs. DeGroot, Mrs. Bartosch & Mrs. Van Helvoirt
