Hi Ivy Families, Change is always challenging, especially when it is unexpected and immediate. With the news of all Illinois schools remaining closed for the remainder of the year, it has been difficult to comprehend as we all held out hope to return, even for a couple of weeks. So what now? We come together even tighter, realize that school is NOT over and it is up to us to decide how we finish the year. I can guarantee that our Ivy teachers are working day and night to create engaging and socially responsible remote learning plans during this emergency situation. They are a dedicated group of people who love your kids and will do their best to support their students. As parents in this uncertain situation, please continue to find the balance for your family and focus on your children as they are experiencing the same emotions we are, but may not have all the necessary tools to recognize, understand, and regulate their emotions. I hope you can find our Monday SEL lessons a great starting point for your family. This week also brought our new structure to Remote Learning. I hope you found the streamlined and focused lessons more conducive to setting up a daily schedule for your children. Also, as teachers have more consistent live experiences for our students via Zoom or Google Hangouts, please be mindful that these are designed for your students to remain connected to their classmates and teacher in a comfortable and safe manner, similar to their classrooms. As I shared previously, let’s continue to show grace and kindness during this time to everyone in our lives. However challenging and testing it is, this abrupt change has allowed us the opportunity for a chance to be even better than we were! Let’s go for it!
