Remote Learning Plan: Phase 2

Thank you for all of your work on the remote learning planning that is continuing until the end of this school year. Lessons are engaging, inspiring, and meet the students where they are. As we move into Phase 2 and plan lessons with new content as per DESE Guidance, I know that you will continue to motivate and inspire our students to reach their potential.
