Dear HMS Families,
I hope that this finds you healthy and safe as we enter the second week of our school closure period. As a parent myself, please know that I empathize with you and the tidal wave of new challenges in which we have found ourselves. I want to also pass along my appreciation for all of you and your children during this time. Please know that you are all in my thoughts.
We are working hard to prepare for our return on April 7th. We are obviously also aware of the quickly changing landscape. The NRSD Leadership team in partnership with the NRSD Department of Teaching and Learning and the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education will continue the proactive planning should the closure be extended and how our current plans may have to evolve.
In the short term, our teachers are updating their student engagement opportunities. You can find these opportunities HERE. Should you or your child have technical challenges while accessing our engagement opportunities platform, please reach out to me.
Finally, starting today I will be sending out a daily announcement video to you and our students. My hope is to stay connected to our students with an upbeat and fun video.
Stay strong and stay positive and know that we are here to help all of you in any way we can.
Yours in partnership,
Kyle Grady
Principal
