Mandarino Minutes for 5-18-20



Dear Parents/Guardians,


Finish Strong -

We have just three weeks of teaching and learning left for this school year!  Please continue to encourage your daughter/son to engage for the remainder of the year.  Next Monday being Memorial Day we will not have lessons, google hangouts, etc.  I will also not have a blog posting next Monday.





Ren Baldwin Virtual Technology Festival -

This Wednesday evening (May 20th) beginning at 7:00 PM will be the virtual Ren Baldwin Technology Festival. See your daughter son's projects, see other students' projects and tune in and see who will be the lucky winner of a brand new iPad! That evening just prior to the event a link will be posted on the district website, itsLearning, Facebook, and Twitter.  Many students districtwide have entered some amazing projects!  Please plan to take a look.





Wellness Wednesdays -

  From the Guidance Department                               

 
Reminder, May is Better Healthier Stronger Together.  We hope you are taking time to take care of yourselves. We continue to add information to the Covid-19, Guidance & SEL site and hope you are finding what it offers helpful and useful.

There will be no Wellness Wednesday this week. Rather, we hope students will join the Technology Festival festivities. See the blog for more information.

Have a great week!
