Dear Lurgio Families,
I hope you and your students have been able to enjoy a relaxing first few days of summer break. It was wonderful to see so many friendly faces of parents and students during our materials exchange earlier this week. I would like to send a big ‘thank you’ for helping to make this process flow smoothly and safely. Many students were able to drop off academic materials and pick up their belongings. Please see the first New News item below if you were unable to participate in this process.
While no one is quite sure of how the 2020-2021 school year will begin, I can tell you that over the summer, a great deal of work will be done to develop a plan that focuses on the best interests of students and families. Student safety and wellness are a top priority for everyone in our district, and I am confident that we will find ways to support students academically, socially, and emotionally regardless of what the future holds.
Best wishes for a safe and healthy summer,
Ed Joyce
