8/21 Shrevewood Wise Words

collage 8.21

Dear Shrevewood Families,

This week we welcomed back our entire staff to begin our work together and prepare for our Distance Learning School Kick-Off September 8. They have participated in professional development on engaging instruction, relationship building, and technology fluency. During our reflection this week, teachers left these sessions inspired and enthusiastic about maintaining and developing new relationships with each individual family at Shrevewood ES.

To begin developing those relationships, you will be receiving a phone call from your child's teacher by Friday, August 28, 2020.  The following week, you will have a chance to meet the teacher via a virtual Open House. This will be a 20 minute virtual orientation meeting for each individual family to meet the teacher, learn about their virtual classroom, and make sure each family is set up and has access for the first day of school. 

We are looking forward to connecting with each of you in multiple ways.  We want to assure you that we are here to work in partnership with you and your family.  As your teachers begin to reach out to you, please let us know if there is something we can do to support your family as we prepare for our virtual start to the school year.

Sincerely,

Joshua DeSmyter

Principal
