Latoya Downes (METCO Coordinator), Julie Cote (Special Education Teacher) and Mike Hehir (Guidance) would like to offer some additional time to support and connect with kids, parents, and guardians. They have set up 2 days a week to have "office hours" through Google Meet. The Kindergarten office hours are scheduled for Mondays 1-2 and Thursdays days 10:30-11:30. If you would like to schedule a time to meet with us, simply email one of the staff members (links below) and we will email you a meeting invitation with an attached link. The plan is to have at least two staff members in attendance when meeting. Alternative times could be arranged should the posted office hours not work.
