Good morning, everyone! We are jumping into our second week of remote learning - and we are so ready and excited to be back in the building next Monday, February 1! Hard to believe we are pushing February already. We know it’s difficult to work from home full-time. In our MMM and below (and in a separate e-mail we sent out), we have highlighted some tips and resources to help you stay focused and productive. The advisors will reinforce these topics in your Advisory chats this week to help develop those executive functioning skills that will help you whether you’re working at home or in the building. 
 
Friday is check, and this contract does count towards Reboot - so make it a good one! We are here to support you each step of the way. Stay connected, set clear goals for yourself, and work one step at a time.

Hello CCHS community! This morning meeting covers a lot of logistics for our temporary remote learning set-up. The details are outlined below, but we recommend you watch the video to get a fuller sense of what to expect. Below, you’ll also see links to the Google Sites for each class and the Google Classroom codes, if there’s a classroom you haven’t yet joined. It’ll be important to be a member of those Google Classrooms so you get important announcements and the Google Meet links.
 
If you have questions, you can reach out to a staff member during the day. We may all be apart, but we’re still all in this together!
