Dear Parents and Students,

Happy New Year!!  I hope everyone is doing well and staying safe. 

The following is some general information to assist you with at-home learning over the next few weeks.

Home Learning Packets:

By now you have all picked up and perhaps had a chance to glance through the Home Learning Packet.  As mentioned previously, 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 order and return all sheets, whether completed or not, 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; I know this is difficult for everyone but be assured, I am here for you. Remember to please reach out should you have any questions or concerns.  You can text (preferred method) or email me at maryann.barrieau@nbed.nb.ca

Thank you and take care,

Ms. B.
