School Update
To the students and families of MRS,
Today marks the first day of our return to an online learning environment. With this change, we want to support our families and minimize any stress that you may be feeling. What we have heard from many of our families is that creating a schedule is helpful in terms of being able to support your child in completing the assigned tasks.
From a technical perspective, more information about the Google Classroom and Google Meets can be found here CBE Technical Support for Students and Parents. If you are struggling with connection and login issues, you can connect with Parent Technical Support.
With most staff members working from home, the best way to connect with teachers will be through email. Our administrative team will be working from school and can be contacted via phone or email. The school office will be open between 8:30am and 4:00pm (Monday – Thursday) and 8:30am and 2:00pm (Friday)
We thank you again for your continued support and we hope all families are staying well and staying safe.
Kind regards,
David Laidlaw and Sandy McNeil
