From Mrs. Rosen-Leacher

Week 2 of the COVID-19 School Shut Down.

We hope you are enjoying the nightly read-aloud that we’ve been sending out each night at 7:00 p.m. We will take a break on Saturday & Sunday, but do plan on continuing our stories even over the scheduled “spring break”.

We are working closely with teachers across the district to help provide learning opportunities for your children. I know many of our teachers have been reaching out and keeping connected with their students already. While we want to keep connected we don’t want to overwhelm anyone, we know this is a challenging time for everyone trying to keep some sense of normal, work from home, children home, etc. Please give yourself grace as we all seek to find a new normal.

We also want to know how you and your family are doing so each week we’ll be checking in with you to see how you are doing. We’d love to hear from you: Pleasant Ridge Friday Family Check-In

Sending love and virtual hugs,

Mrs. Rosen-Leacher
