Order Falcon Spirit Wear
PRINCIPAL'S WEEKLY MESSAGE
Hello Skyridge Families,
This is Principal Laurie Balsano Wright with your Falcon Flyer for the week of September 8-11. I’d like to start off with a reminder that Tuesday, September 8 is a school day for all AUSD Students.
DISTANCE LEARNING TIPS
I’d like to provide students and families with a Weekly Distance Learning Tip to help us all make the best of our new distance learning environments. These weekly tips can help students and families be ready for some of the more practical aspects of learning from home.
Distance Learning Tip #4: Help students ‘own’ their learning
No one expects parents to be full-time teachers or to be educational and content matter experts. Provide support and encouragement, and expect your children to do their part. Struggling is allowed and encouraged! Don’t help too much. Becoming independent takes lots of practice. While on campus, your child usually engages with other students and any number of adults hundreds of times each day. Many of these social interactions will continue from a distance, but they will be different. You cannot replace them all, and that’s OK.
Important Events for the Week of September 8-11:
Monday, September 7
- No School
Tuesday, September 8
- School day for all AUSD students
Wednesday, September 9
- Wednesday Night with Mrs. Wright Virtual Storytime at 7:00 PM
