Dear School Community,
It has certainly been a week filled with challenges, questions and decisions. I am so very grateful for the support shown to the school by the community in regards to the health and safety precautions we have instituted. Families have expressed gratitude that we are taking every step we can to ensure the health and safety of our community. We have attached the letters sent home this week to this RTN. Today, you have received some information and resources from Nurse Katie on how to talk with your child about COVID-19 if they are asking questions or seem worried. Please know we are working hard to make sure all of our children experience a joyful and "normal" feeling school day. Our Mismatched/Clash Day today was very fun and cheerful!
I promise to continue to communicate with you in the fastest and most informed ways possible in the coming weeks. Our highest priority at SES is to keep our students, staff and families, safe, healthy and happy. Please reach out to me with any questions and concerns. I am happy to talk.
Jackie
