Update

Wow things change quickly! We just met as a staff, and Mr. McIntosh has shared the following information with us:
   -3 Way Conferences (which had initially been switched to phone conversations) are now cancelled.
   -We have no idea how long classes will be closed for. We want to be prepared for the possibility that schools will not re-open until September. However, Mr. McIntosh feels that it is more likely that we will be back before the end of June. Therefore, he recommends that students do not take all of their school supplies home (as was implied in the letter sent out today), only what they need in order to continue their learning at home.
  -I had initially been informed that only sick students should stay home this week. However, now they are recommending that, if you are able to keep your children home starting tomorrow, you should do so. If that is the case, someone will need to come into the school before the end of the day on Thursday in order to pick up the things your child will need to continue their learning.

Additional Note: I stated in my update earlier today that we would be continuing primarily academic work in the classroom this week, and that our Tuck Everlasting written task is still due Thursday. Due to the change in expectation this week, and with parents being encouraged NOT to send your child to school if possible, students DON'T need to worry about finishing this assignment. I'll mark it if they have it, but if not, I won't count it as an incomplete assignment.
