Students in kindergarten through 8th grade have packets.

Riley wants to make it clear that your child's teacher is the best resource during this time.

And they are explaining those remote learning expectations.

We may give you some supplemental ideas for you to complete if you want to but really the focus is on the packet."

///////// and for high schoolers... riley says teachers are managing those expectations and are allowing students to take charge of their learning.

Riley says school leaders are working with the health department to figure out the best way for students to return paper packets safely to teachers.

Another important note -- if you have not heard from your child's teacher... that most likely means your contact information is not correct and you should reach out to a teacher
