Education for 9th grade social studies during the COVID 19 crisis.

Dear students:

The past two weeks we have received a  lot of updates from the district about how we are going to move forward with helping you obtain some learning during this epidemic.

Who would have thought that this sort of thing would happen?   You are living through a very difficult time that will soon be over.  The important thing is to keep everyone as safe as possible.  I hope that you are managing ok.  

We will start communicating with you tomorrow on March 30th.   We are going to be having a phone call from our superintendent and then another conference with our principal.   We will receive news about how to update our sites and what "platforms" to use to get supplemental learning to you.

It probably won't be perfect, but it will be something to get you through the next weeks and help your education a long.    

Mrs. Olsen has been thinking about how all her students are coping.  I am hoping OK.   I know this is a time of economic turmoil and many of you must be feeling isolated.   It really is a unique experience in American History.  We all will know a lot more about disease and prevention.  Some of you may even use this event to inspire you to learn more. 

I am thinking of all of you and hoping to get caught up and "teaching"---whatever that looks like---in the next few days!

Mrs. Olsen
