BLENDED TEACHING MODEL
July 7th 2020
Dear SFSE Families
We hope this communication finds you in great health and good spirit as we all work to overcome this COVID-19 Pandemic. Our management and staff wish you and your families the best of health and that you remain safe during this time.
It has been our pleasure to have had the opportunity to provide a one of a kind educational experience for your son/daughter for the 2019-2020 school year. Who knew we would have faced such a health challenge and be in need of immediate restructuring to protect and preserve the education of our students. We stepped up to the challenge immediately and took the necessary steps to transition our students to an at-home distance learning experience. The beginning was difficult, but we stuck together as a family and got our students through this difficult experience, and we are ready to do it again for the 2020-2021 school year.
