Good morning parents and students. I hope everyone is doing well and staying safe.

Home Learning - The packets are organized by day, with work to be completed on each of the next 9 days (reading, writing and math) stapled together. Please try as much as possible to keep sheets stapled together and in the order provided in the packet, and return all sheets to the packet each day. This will make it easier when it comes time to return everything, and the plastic envelope can be reused if necessary in the future. 

I want to say, please just do the best you can on the assigned material in the packet and don't stress if there are questions/exercises you are having trouble with. Remember to please reach out should you have any questions or concerns. (doris.mckinnon@nbed.nb.ca
