When I was new to virtual I had days I felt completely swamped and like I had absolutely NO CLUE what I was supposed to do or what anyone was talking about! What really helped me was connecting with my team and asking for help/clarification. We all understand what it's like to be overwhelmed at the beginning so don't feel afraid to reach out and let us know what you need! If we were in a b&m school you'd come across the hall and ask what's going on, right? Same here! Reach out and we'll help! ]]> 2020-08-25 21:08:56 UTC https://padlet.com/joferguson/ufoewsj6ytu63s93/wish/698652668 TVAHHS https://padlet.com/joferguson/ufoewsj6ytu63s93/wish/698652855 Hey there, Hallsville Friends,
