Dear Bren Mar Park families,
We hope that you are having a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday weekend! Please remember that tomorrow is a school day, including independent work and small group instruction with classroom teachers. Your child's teacher has the specific schedule for your child. If you and your family need some flexibility in schedules, please remember that work can be completed asynchronously!
We look forward to seeing your child online tomorrow.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Williams
Principal
