Hello Peter Hobart families,
So much has changed in the past couple of weeks and I can only image that things will only continue to do so. As we enter our official Spring Break time, it will be, without a doubt, a 'break' like no other. Tonight begins
Governor Walz's executive order of Stay Home MN, so while this time may not be what
many of us expected, I do hope you take time to slow down, reflect and connect with your loved ones in ways that keep you and others safe. Continue to give yourself and others grace and be kind.
We understand you may have questions about distance learning and how to support your student. Please see the FAQ document linked below for answers to many of your questions. We’ve spent a lot of time working collaboratively across the district on how to best set our students up for success. Our first goal will be to focus on reestablishing relationships with students and continue the partnerships with families. We know children learn best from those with whom they have strong relationships, and this is certainly true in a distance learning setting.
Finally, we know COVID-19 has caused economic, emotional, mental and physical hardships for students and families. If your family is in need of support, Amy Stoks, school counselor and Michele Edwins, social worker are able to help and can be contacted by email at
stoks.amy@slpschools.org
or
edwins.michele@slpschools.org
.
We look forward to, virtually, seeing our students and will be ready to engage them in distance learning when we return on April 6th.
Peter Hobart Proud,
Kari Schwietering
Principal
