Daisy Daily for Families---April 20, 2020

Dear Daisy Families,

I hope that this newsletter finds you and your family healthy and happy.  I'm also hoping that the April break week has given your family a chance to rest, reflect and refresh for the weeks ahead.

We can't thank you enough for the support that you have given your children in order to make Distance Learning work for all of us.  Our teachers and support staff have been working extremely hard, with such dedication to continue to meet the needs of our students in an entirely new, remote, online format.  We are all in this together and please know that we so appreciate the teamwork on behalf of our families, staff and students.  Without the incredible support that you have given us at home, this would not be possible.

We will embark on Week #4 of Distance Learning on Monday, April 20.  We look forward to welcoming our students back to our remote learning platforms by rejoining virtual classroom meetings; visiting our school and classroom websites; and logging into Google Classrooms (grades 2-4).

Please check our Daisy Web Site regularly for updated information re: Distance Learning, Calendar Events and COVID-19 Updates at:

Please remember that lunches are available weekdays, from 12:30-1:30 pm, from the Daisy circle.  Meals are provided for all children up to 18 years of age.

We so appreciate all of our front-line heros and we know that so many of our families and staff members are those heros.  We have decorated the front doors of our school, just as many Westbrook families have decorated their doors and windows at home.  We honor you all!

Wishing all a wonderful week and please know that we are all in this together.  The latest Governor's Executive Order calls for schools to be closed through May 20, but please watch our Westbrook Public Schools Website for updates.  Direct updates will also come directly from Superintendent Patricia Ciccone through emails and phone message, as appropriate.

Please keep in touch and let us know your concerns.

Warmly,

Ruth W. Rose, Principal
