Each week, the teachers and I read the Marshall Memo, a newsletter that provides summaries on 8-10 of the most thought-provoking articles in education recently published. This week’s Memo also provided resources for families who are in distance learning. I’ve included several of these resources below.
If there are specific questions you’re having or ways the school can offer additional support, please let me know. We are always open to your suggestions.
