Dear Friends and Cypress Families,

We are sending positive thoughts to each of you and wishing for the safest and soonest return to school. Our school districts have all communicated that we will need to continue to stay home at least until May 1, 2020. 

We will have our Spring Break and will not have official Distance Learning from April 6^th through April 10^th. We will continue with our Distance Learning programs. We are being required by the districts (and Afterschool regional center or insurance) to document all student/family interactions and learning for teachers, therapists, and Afterschool. 

Please respond by text, email, or phone call to your teacher, therapist, and Afterschool Director Becca (rwilson@ucpnb.org), Afterschool Coordinators, and Therapists so we can document you/your child’s participation.  

Your replies to the teachers/therapists/afterschool manager inquiries and provision of learning materials is the documentation we need in order to receive funding to continue to pay our amazing team. We must have contact to bill the districts and regional center/insurance. We are paying our administrators, teachers, staff, and therapists through May 1. More information will be forthcoming as we are updated by the districts, regional centers, and insurance companies. 

Please check your child’s proposed daily/weekly schedule that should include Cypress shared Zoom classes (Colleen Arnold and Addie’s music class), classroom Zooms, individualized activities to do at home, News2you, Epic reading, and Khan Academy.

Cypress will box up and deliver to you school supplies/needs. Email your teacher to request. We can include school work, icons, Chromebooks, and iPads if you don’t already have these. 

I am proud that Cypress families and staff are working together to create distance learning that works for you and your child. I am feeling sad that we can’t see each other in person and anxiously await our return to school.

Best wishes to all!

Laura
