Hello!
Things are changing in High Five and at Loring! Governor Walz has ordered Minnesota schools to close indefinitely to slow the spread of COVID-19.
This means students will NOT return to class after Spring Break. Instead, we will begin distance learning on Monday, April 6.
Please check this website (look under "Classroom News") and our class dojo for more information.
Similarly, please reach out to me via phone (call or text) or email. I am here to be a resource for you!
Please remember that the most important thing at this time is for your child to feel loved and safe. I support you and want you to know that what you are doing is enough.
I miss all of you and want nothing more than to be back in the classroom with a bunch of wonderful High Fivers!
Thank you,
Ms. Elizabeth
