Technology Survey:  Shout out to EVERYONE who worked so hard to get those surveys completed on our students.  I know it was last minute and a rush item but I truly appreciate your assistance.  We still have 16 students that we have not been able to reach yet.  If those students are in your classroom, please continue to try and reach them.  Through these contacts,  parents are being reminded about picking up food and work for their children.

Continuous Learning Packets - Week 2.  Please be sure you have gone into Google Drive and looked at the work for your students so that when you reach out to families next week you will be able to answer questions, provide guidance, etc.


Ms. Lundy, Ms. O'Shields, Ms. Briggs, Mr. Frederick (US Grant HS Principal) will be at Coolidge on Monday giving out packets.  Last Monday was extremely busy so if you need something from Ms. Lundy or me understand that we can't answer you till after 1:00 p.m.

  2. I'm still in residual shock. I watch my church program being cast without the congregation... This is sooooo far out. I take it in stride and comply with the guidelines and maybe one day - It'll be real (in my mind). My parents seem to be doing good, so I'm thankful for that!
