Welcome Back to School!!!

Parents and Students,
 
  Welcome back to School!!! 
 
  First and Foremost, I hope you and your families are all in good health and doing well.  Hopefully, you were able to get a little rest and relaxation over the past few weeks since the "Stay-at-Home" order closed pretty much all of the fun stuff and caused many to cancel their original plans.  While these times have forced us to change our daily routines and adjust to a "new normal," we will try to get back into a rhythm with school as we shift to online learning.  I'm sure many of you (to include myself) are stressed about what lies ahead, but we will take it one day at a time and figure it out together.  I am here for each and every one of you and will help in any way possible.  
 
 While these times have been challenging, I recognize everyone is doing the best they can to adapt and overcome all of the changes:
       Parents, you have done an amazing job stepping in and becoming your child's teacher!  And, you are doing this while trying to balance your own work, taking care of everyone under your roof, and trying to put a smile on your face and your family's face. From the bottom of my heart,  I applaud you and all your efforts and we will get through this together.  
       Students, you are having to adapt to a new style of learning that can feel cold and isolating at times.  Your schedule is off and many of you have had to sacrifice and miss out on many very important after school activities like sports, band, AVPA and more.  This has not been an easy time for you as you are helping your family in many ways to take care of essential tasks around the house all the while as you are trying to figure out a new style of learning.  Keep your heads up and don't forget to smile from time to time!
 
 Moving forward, here's what we have on the agenda:  We will be shifting to a Block Schedule with Periods 1,3,5 on Monday/Thursday and Periods 2,4,6 on Tuesday/Friday.  Wednesday will be student independent work time.
 
  Monday April 6, 2020 (Today): Pupil free day.  No classes or assignments.  There is another Technology Check-out from 10:30am-12:00pm at Culver City High School Library Today.
