My Dearest Thacher Community,
Yesterday, Governor Charlie Baker issued an emergency order extending the closure of all public and private schools through the end of the school year. Although this was anticipated by me and many in our community, it was still a harsh reality once the announcement was officially made. In an effort to prevent the further spread of COVID-19, this drastic measure requires Thacher Montessori School to remain closed for the remainder of the 2019-20 school year.
Looking forward, Thacher continues to be committed to providing our students with online remote learning. It is crucial that we balance both the academic and social-emotional needs of our students as they experience this unprecedented time in their lives. In order to best do this, we need your feedback! On Monday, 4/27/20, we will be sending an online survey to all families. Please help us help you by
providing your feedback
. Although each family’s needs are different, we would like to do our best to support all.
Michelle and I will also be offering two live-Zoom sessions over the next few weeks. The purpose of these sessions is to enable parents to come together with us, ask general questions, laugh, cry, and just be together. Although we may not have the answers, we are strongest together.
COVID-19 has affected us all in one way or another; however, I truly believe that good communication, community, and our combined love of the children will guide us through this historic time in our lives.
In partnership,
Deba
