As we navigate this new environment with school closings, quarantine, and social distancing, we as a school community want to provide our families resources. We will compile all information on this page plus post student challenge and videos on our Facebook page. Use this as a resource, so please don't feel overwhelmed. Use what you want and ignore the rest!

Zeke's Activity Corner is providing free activities each day for students to review their letters and sounds.
