Thank you to everyone that helped make this happen for my students!! We loved this project!! One of my students said it best...”I can’t believe people cared enough for us in little Winona that they sent us postcards from all over the world.” Thank you for showing my students love!! It means the world!!

Partnering with Schools:
Academics and My Child
During this month’s Learning at Home meeting, we will discuss how to determine what academic standards and concepts your child is working on at school and what assessments they are required to take. Additionally, we will discuss what you can do as a caregiver to support academic learning at home. There will be opportunities for questions and discussion.

REACH MS presents
Early Childhood Parent-to-Parent:
A new initiative this school year for families of Pre-K and Kindergarten students.
We know that you might be juggling work, your own schedule, and having your children home more than before. Or, you might have sitters, family members, or older siblings looking after your young children. Join us this school year as we meet online monthly to discuss topics related to at-home learning and “management.” We have some topics ready to go for you, and we will also take requests for monthly topics.
Details about our 8th Early Childhood Parent-to-Parent online meeting are below. The meeting will be recorded for you to view at any time, but your live presence and active participation will allow you to discuss with others and get feedback on your questions.
Meeting: Thursday, April 22nd at noon – date change!!
Topic: Kindergarten: What Should I Expect?
During this month’s meeting, we will discuss going to kindergarten, including what an average day in kindergarten is like as well as what you can do to prepare your child before the first day of big school. There will be an opportunity for you to ask questions!
Registration Link: https://usm-edu.zoom.us/j/6162344907
For questions concerning Early Childhood Parent-to-Parent meetings, please email Brittany Herrington at brittany.herrington@usm.edu.
We look forward to “seeing” you,
The REACH MS Team
