BE READY TO LEARN AT HOME

If the school needs to close, students still need to keep learning from home. It is not a holiday. Here is some best advice to make sure that your learning continues. Teachers will put messages, instruction, learning goals, new resources and new task onto the Daymap system. You will need to check this every day. You will get tasks to be completed every week in every subject.
