Hello West families,
As we go into week two of working and learning from home, we are re-sharing links to home learning guides. We have also included a link to an array of suggestions geared towards keeping the entire family physically and mentally active.
Remember to stay positive, sharing life skill moments together like cooking, making schedules, and exercise, encourages positivity and unity. Ask your student to teach you some Playworks activities or to show you something that they have learned from art or music.
We will update this document as updates become available.
Stay healthy!
