For that reason, I don&#8217;t recommend sending iPads home with our K-3 students but will completely support you and\/or parents if either would like for them to go home.  I realize that grades 4 &amp; 5 will need to send home iPads with at least half of their class to have their iPad on the first Monday after spring break to work at home.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Summer School Interest Form:<\/strong> On Friday, Skip sent an email about a summer school program that the district will be providing for our highest-need students.

Two decades of school reform initiatives have not changed that. But when Chana Joffe-Walt, a reporter, looked at inequality in education, she saw that most reforms focused on who schools were failing: Black and brown kids. But what about who the schools are serving? In this five-part series, she turns her attention to what is arguably the most powerful force in our schools: White parents. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">COVID\/ Safety Related Information:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Questions\/Concerns about COVID-19 related matters?:<\/strong>&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/12W1CiwISAOh_l5XUgFmkiUO2LejQ_wpP\/view\">Please follow this flowchart<\/a>.
