Dear Dogwood Families,
It is hard to believe that we are at the end of the first quarter! We have truly enjoyed learning and growing with each and every one of you. As we head into the second quarter, we want to connect with you virtually through the upcoming progress reports, as well as the Quarter 1 Feedback form we will be providing to let you know about the progress of our students. Stay tuned!
We know there are a lot of unknowns as we continue to navigate the components of return to learn...and we appreciate your understanding and connection as we are working to ensure the safety and health for all of our students, staff, and community members. Please take care of yourselves, each other, and your loved ones… we are here for you! Be well!
Best regards,
Mie Devers
