Dear Notre Dame community,
We sincerely hope that this letter is finding you with continued health and well-being! Although it feels like an eternity since we were all together, we are faithfully heeding the warning and remaining sheltered. We are aware of the burden this order is placing on everyone, most particularly our beloved students and teachers.
After today, we have four more days of instruction before we embark on a much needed Easter break. Our faculty is working tirelessly to engage students in distance learning. They have agreed that there will be no new homework assigned for the break. The only exception is for AP classes, and those students will be given an AP exam review guide.
Due to the unusual situation of distance learning, please consult with your teachers if you need an extension through Easter break for any assignments that were originally due on or after March 9, when we transitioned to distance learning. It is crucial that students communicate directly with teachers to identify which assignments require an extension, and to maintain an open and direct line of communication with each teacher.
Please also see our new NDB Student Dashboard here. This Google site was designed to provide easy access to NDB distance learning protocol materials, as well as resources to stay healthy, well and connected online (anytime!) Please check out the Tiger Connections page on the Dashboard frequently, as we will continue to post fun optional community activities each week - such as Baking with Ms. Bergholm, Wagging Wednesdays with Ms. Gasco (and our community pets), Jukebox Jams with Ms. Willits and Ms. Vega, Mid-Week Workouts with Coach Kate, and more. We will also be adding a parent resource page to this site soon.
We are acutely aware of the stressors of our collective circumstances. Our goal is to partner with you in every sense. We are here to support you as we continue to work together. Please let us know if you have any questions. We would love to hear from you.
Sending you best wishes for continued health, and some Aquacades spirit! Mrs. Cathy Lewis and Dr. Linda Kern |
