Education is often referred to as an occupation where you build the ship as it sails. Well, that ship took a significantly damaging torpedo to the hull as it hit stormy weather, so now you are repairing a gaping hole while building this sailing ship in a storm. We’re going to get wet and we’re going to get seasick and but we will make it to the other shore and put our toes in that sand at some point.

Ordering Supplies
Shawna can still order materials if necessary, however, please know everything is slowed down and there are some vendors not delivering. We’ll do our best but manage expectations. Don’t be concerned about losing PTO classroom/SL funds – I will figure out a way to roll it all over for each of your individual accounts.
Instructional Coaches – Please reach out to Julie Walker for instructional/tech support. Please see her Weekly Update Email from Monday 4/6/20.
Instructional Resources
The video linked below is the one I referred to this afternoon. It can be found in one of the folders in the “Elementary Shared Folder” also linked below. This is a place for teachers and coaches to share resources. Warning: it’s a bit overwhelming at first which is why I pulled the individual vidoe from Mary out separately.
