Improving our Home Learning
If you are having difficulties with the amount of teacher or classroom face time, or concerns about Canvas – please talk to your teacher directly. They are working hard and also appreciate your feedback and identifying particular needs of students.
Primary teachers are preparing learning packets to be mailed to families. These will provide with flat materials that students can use to learn key principles with their teachers.
