To Our Dear Families in the Primary School:
You are amazing! In an almost impossible situation, you have managed to work in partnership with your child’s teacher to create learning at home. I’m sure this has been a challenge. From the bottom of our hearts, we thank you!
If you still are having trouble connecting to the internet or accessing a device, please feel free to email me at moconnell@westmorelandschool.org or Patrick Cardillo at pcardillo@westmorelandschool.org.
Tomorrow will be a “school day.” Your child’s teacher will be online to assist. If you are only able to access materials in the evening, that’s fine.
I know it can be stressful to get kids to do school work in a place other than school. Please don’t stress. Do the best you can. Special area teachers all have classrooms that they’re posting in. It would be good if your child mixes it up with specials too. Kids all have access to RAZ-Kids and IXL. Encourage them to learn, but also, encourage them to play, listen to music, run around… that’s what they need!
Please feel free to reach out at any time. We are here for you! Once again, I'm amazed how the Westmoreland community supports each other in times of need. Thank you so much!
Stay well!
Best regards,
Mary Anne O’Connell
Primary Elementary Principal
