LOOKING AHEAD
Thank you all for your extremely valuable feedback regarding ASHAR’s virtual schooling. While responses to individual questions will prove invaluable to both future virtual and real schooling, perhaps the most significant observable result of this exercise was the very strong level of parental participation. An engaged parent body bodes well for continued success, as we jointly chart our course for year’s-end, September and beyond.
The coming weeks will feature assessments, modified report cards and meaningful end-of-year programs. Most importantly, your children’s teachers will continue to engage and educate until the end. Much of our recent learning has been virtual, but the perseverance, resourcefulness and adaptability the process has engendered are real-life skills that will serve our children throughout their lives.
We are cautiously optimistic of a gradual return to normalcy, b’ezras Hashem, and will be scheduling a parent meeting to address plans for September; please watch your email for details.
Shabbat Shalom!
