Just one Tootle this week - Yeah Georgia!!
Pioneer Families- This Friday is our next Distance Learning Day, which is an important part of our educational program that counts as a half day of instruction. Whether your child is learning letter sounds in kindergarten or completing advanced coursework in high school, these days are thoughtfully designed to support learning at every age and stage. Our teachers have designed learning activities that students can complete at their own pace throughout the day or weekend. This flexibility not only allows families to create schedules that work best for them but also gives students real-world practice in managing their time and solving problems independently. Remember students who signed up earlier this week will receive their meals as planned this afternoon before they leave for the day. Staff will be available to support students who need assistance. We're committed to making these learning experiences valuable and engaging, as they represent an important bridge between traditional classroom learning and the independent, tech-savvy problem solving our students will need in their futures.
