Remote Learning

Greetings!  I pray everyone is taking the necessary precautions to stay safe and healthy.  To help maintain a healthy environment, students will work from home on the attached packets for ELA and SS.  There are several ways you can receive the packet: link, hard copy at Killian, or hard copy via bus.  If you have access to a printer at home, you may print the pages you need each day using the link provided in this message. If you do not have access to a printer, hard copies of the packet have been printed for you and will be available to pickup starting Wednesday, March 18th at Killian Elementary.  You may also receive the packet Thursday, March 19th by way of bus.  Faculty will ride buses and distribute packets throughout neighborhoods.  You do not have to complete the entire packet in one day.  Use your judgement to complete the packet by students' return. Packets must be returned to school when school resumes normally.

In preparation to help with any questions you may have, my office hours are listed. If by chance your question or concern is not answered, I will get back to you within 24 hours.  You may use Remind or email to contact me.

Office Time:

9:00 - 10:30 AM

2:30 - 4:00 PM
