jlinema — 2021-05-18 14:15:47 UTC

Much appreciation to Meredith Fatseas and the central team for their support of our school teams during this year! It has been a ride with much change - and our teams have rocked it out of the park! Thanks for your support!!

FBA consent

2021-05-18 14:17:01 UTC

reevaluations to support remote

jlinema — 2021-05-18 14:29:17 UTC

There are questions on clarification if reevaluations are required if a family selects remote for the 21-22 sy. Is there guidance on this potential need?

jlinema — 2021-05-18 14:30:10 UTC

These aren't necessarily free, but are relatively inexpensive:

- preply.com: Native language teachers from countries around the world set their own rates and offer virtual classes/tutoring
- Lupa app: really great for intermediate Spanish learners who want to work on listening comprehension (free and paid versions)
