Hello Parents,

I sent home the following note through your email (one email per family) on April 1st. I also sent a note to your child to their email. If you require your son or daughters username and password, please let me know. Thank you to those of you that responded. If you did not receive the following notes, please let me know at

Thank you so much,

Note to Parents:

Hello Parents,

I hope that you are all doing well. It was great to hear from you and to speak to some of you. I would like to continue to keep the lines of communication open during this time. In our next phase (beginning next week), we will be slowly introducing some academics, with a focus on Math and Language. At this point, I am not exactly sure how that will look. I will take it one week at a time. Also, I am aware that this is a difficult time for all of us. Please only do what you can, no pressure!!

As a first step, I would like to have a conference using Google Meet with all of the children, if possible. The children will have an opportunity to see and chat with one another. This will happen later next week. I will have to confirm a day and time in the near future.

As a first step, the children will have to learn how to log into their email accounts. Most of the students have memorized their logins, as they are used to logging into their chromebooks at school on a daily basis. If your child needs their logins, please email me and I will send you their computer username and passwords.  

Later this afternoon, I will send the children a message to their school email account. By responding to my email, I will know that the kids have accessed their email account. I am aware that some of you are in need of devices. The principal is aware of this and is awaiting details for next steps. Also, as a staff, we are going to book conferences at different days and times so that your children have more of a chance to access a device at home.

. My hopes are to send you a weekly email with overall expectations for the week and questions to guide the children. In time, if the children are able to effectively make use of their emails, we could explore further options. For now, we will take this one step at a time. Please continue to use available apps on our class Blog and various links sent, to review various concepts in Math and Language. 

Please feel free to contact me through email if you require further assistance,

Note to my students:

Hello grade 2's!

I miss you all soooo much. I hope that you are all doing well. I know that things are really different right now, but it's important that we stay home so that we all stay safe and healthy. 

I have been spending a lot of time with my family. I try to go outside everyday to get some fresh air. I am so happy that the snow is slowly melting.

I have been working hard to learn more about computer stuff so that we could see each other on a program called google meet. I hope that we could do that later next week.

So, now I want you to respond to my email and tell me what you have been doing. 

Feel free to write to me anytime!! 

Can't wait to hear from you all!!

Miss you all soooooooo much,

Mrs. Vena
