Academic Support and Enrichment!
Mrs. Prell and Mr. Thomas ~ 2020-21

The Reinforcements Are Here!
Dear families:
We're starting the new school year like no other: More than 5 million students in California will attend online classes as mandated by Gov. Gavin Newsom. Let's face the many challenges ahead together! Let's support our children!
For over ten years, Mr. Thomas and I have provided a constant in children's lives, and we'll continue to do so this school year: Count on us to provide academic support and enrichment in Critical Reading, Writing, Math and Science. The goal: happy, healthy and curious children who feel loved and supported during this challenging time in their young lives.
Your family's well-being is paramount to both of us. We are here to support you and your children with compassion and passion! Let us know how we can help your family this school year.
PRELIMINARY STEPS:
- Make an appointment to meet Mrs. Prell or Mr. Thomas or Zoom with Mrs. Prell to chat about your child's needs.
- TAP HERE TO SAVE A SPOT for your child and to help us customize your child's learning experience.
Your academic support team~

Encourage Focus "To make sure kids stay on task, use an automated to-do list, an at-a-glance scheduler, a site blocker, or another digital tool to prevent distractions." By Christine Elgersma 7/31/2020 | Support Kids "At this point, the distance learning scenario isn't entirely new. We have more information about what works for kids and what doesn't. And the hope is that we -- parents, caregivers, teachers, and school leaders -- are now better prepared to support kids in their social, emotional, and academic growth during the pandemic."
