A year ago today...

 

March 22, 2020

A lot can happen in a year...

I want you to pause for a moment, and reflect on the past year.  Think about the new learning, new "normals", adjustments, accommodations, and creative problem solving that has taken place since March 22, 2020.  

Words you probably hadn't heard of or thought about much before...

Google Meet
tiled layout
webcam
mute/unmute
your video must be on
Can you hear me?
social distancing
hand sanitizer
online resources
stay at home order
work from home
tech support
quarantine
mask ordinance
Netflix binging (OK, that one is for me!)

As you reflect on your learning, perseverance, determination, dedication, change in approaches, and continued commitment to Houlton students - I want you to recognize the enormous success that we have experienced because of everyone's contribution.  Wow, what a year.  Wow, what a team.  Thank you for your suggestions, ideas, adjustments, and 100% GRIT to make this last year work for our staff, families, and students.

With so much gratefulness, 
Sue
