Dear Parents,
 
I hope this letter finds you all safe and healthy.
 
If you haven’t already, you’ll be hearing from your children’s teachers about continued learning.  Teachers are utilizing a variety of digital platforms to teach the grade level curriculum.  With the many challenges we are all currently facing, our instructional shift to online learning will expand over the coming days and weeks.  We will continue to provide details as this progresses and encourage you to reach out to teachers for feedback.  Teachers will also be providing you with office hours, at least one hour per weekday.  You will also have special area (Art, Music, PE, Library) lessons weekly. 
 
Just as monitoring your children’s daily school work is new to you, teaching and communicating with students and families remotely is brand new territory for all of us.  We understand that for many of you, this is out of your comfort zone.  Please don’t hesitate to reach out to your children’s teachers with any questions.  They are available to you throughout this school closing, and they want very much to help.  School counselors are also available by email.  Miss DelDuchetto’s email address is kdelduch@nscsd.org and Miss Prikazsky’s email address is rprikazsky@nscsd.org. 
 
If you are unable to reach a teacher, for any reason, please contact me.  My email address is mmotala@nscsd.org.  I will be checking my email regularly and will respond within one day.

If you know of any family who has not received this email from me and/or a communication from their teacher, please ask them to send me their email address.  We may not have a parent’s most recent email address, and we want to ensure that we’re reaching all families.
 
If you are feeling any stress related to distance learning, please know that we understand.  We ask only that you do what you can and let us know how we can help you.  We look forward to all being together again at school soon.
 
Sincerely,
 
Matthew Motala
