[TNS-list] Dyanthe's Letter: 6/2/20

[Dyanthe Spielberg]

Dear Families,

In my letter yesterday, I shared a link
<https://wakelet.com/wake/wu1HL8tVZq0cy88huY9GV> to a collection of
(growing) resources that our staff put together to support families
navigate conversations about race and racism with their children.  Please
keep checking the link as it is updated daily.  Thank you to those of you
who have shared additional resources.

While we are all wondering about the start of the next school year, our
school is also preparing for the end.  It will look different this year as
we translate our end-of-year traditions online.   Teachers will not send
home the usual narrative reports this year.  Instead, as a way to provide
closure, teachers will either write end-of-year letters or have end-of-year
meetings with children and families.  Your teacher(s) will let you know
what they are planning.  5th-grade graduation will also look different and
will include both live and prerecorded parts.  It will only be for 5th
graders, their families, and staff because we will have it on Google Meet.
The rest of our community will have the opportunity to watch it at a later
time.

Noemi and I are continuing our meetings with families through Google Meet
in June.  Alice Auth and Barbara DiGangi will also continue to
participate.  I will post the meeting code and directions on your child’s
classroom stream the morning of. You can also find the links in our
calendar:


   -

   K/1 Families:  Wednesday, June 3 at 4 PM
   -

   ⅔ Families:  Tuesday, June 9 at 4 PM
   -

   ⅘ Families:  Monday, June 8 at 4 PM


There is no online “live” school for students this Thursday, June 4, or
Tuesday, June 9.  Students may use this day to catch up on unfinished work,
including work from Emily, Teddy, and Mara.  We will also have additional
activities provided by the DOE available.

With Love,

Dyanthe
