K-1 famliies and students-
Thank you for your patience and perseverance as teachers adjust to daily technology hurdles--from software crashes to internet connectivity lapses. Today you may be experiencing lagging connections and freezing screens. You may need to wait a bit more than usual for your child's connection to catch-up to "real time." Thanks in advance your flexibility.
