Learning from Home Guide • Week of May 1, 2026

Dear Students and Families

Fridays are set up to work against having a siloed life. We are intentionally bringing school activities into the home so that parents and siblings can have a common conversation, we can be reminded that learning is not limited to school days and times; and to have the opportunity to sit and ponder and fill our minds with beautiful things and ideas. What a gift!
