Hello Pirate Families,

Next week, May 4^th – 8^th is National Teacher Appreciation Week.  Our teachers have, without question, gone above and beyond this past month.  Many parents have shared with me that this distance learning experience has (ironically) strengthened the connection between teachers and students, and teachers and families.  As you likely noticed, our teachers have also taken on many different roles during this unique time.  Please take a moment to show your appreciation for our school team next week. A warm email message, student drawing, or virtual hug mean more to these professionals than you would imagine.  They gain momentum and feel personal fulfillment when they know they are making a difference in the lives of children. Remember to reach out to our resource teachers, ESE teachers, and other support staff, too. We are a crew!

As we wrap up the 2019-2020 school year, there is still much to learn in these last 20 days of distance learning.  Thank you, parents, for supporting your child(ren)’s education.  We recognize this is a very different experience for you and that you are juggling many things.  You are doing a terrific job!  If your family is experiencing any sort of hardship, please reach out.  We are here to help.

Together in Education,

Catherine Goodrich
