Dear Parents of Young School Students,
Our Young School Team has been working diligently over the past couple of days to prepare “distant learning packets”, which have been designed to provide your child with a variety of curriculum based learning experiences. Though new material won’t be introduced, students will engage in educational lessons that will reinforce previously introduced concepts and skills in reading, writing, mathematics, science, social studies, art, music, and physical education.
Providing your child with a balance of support and independence as he/she pursues the challenges associated with the work assignments will be most helpful. Ensuring that the learning experience is enjoyable for your child will be motivating. We have developed a suggested schedule that you can introduce to your child, and support its implementation. We are asking that you sign your child’s daily plan sheet, and return it with your child when they return to Young School.
Young School “Bear’s” Sample Daily Schedule
8:00 a.m. Enjoy a “Champions Breakfast”
8:30 a.m. Get Dressed and Complete Hygiene Needs (Emphasis on frequent “hand washing”)

Thank you for providing guidance for your child, as they do the very best that they can in completing the assignments provided by his/her teacher. Please know that your child’s teacher can be reached via email or SeeSaw, if you have any questions regarding this alternative public education experience.
Most important, please know that we will truly miss our daily contact with your child during the period of time that we are engaged in the distant learning model.
Respectfully,
Dr. Peter E. Harrison, Principal
