Good afternoon Armatage families, This is Joan Franks calling with a few updates.
All are welcome at the PTA virtual meeting - Updates on return to school, school placement and volunteer opportunities.
Good afternoon Armatage Families,
This is Joan Franks calling to welcome you back from winter break and to update you on some critical information shared with schools yesterday regarding the return to in school learning.
First and foremost, I hope your break was wonderful and that you were able to enjoy time with your kids away from the computer screen.
Yesterday afternoon, the superintendent and his cabinet announced that schools need to begin preparations for the return of students to the buildings beginning Monday, February 8th. We are so excited! The district will be providing detailed information on the website including a Registration Form that notify us regarding your plans for your children. They may continue distance learning, or they may return to the building for in person learning. It is critical that you go to either the Armatage website or the district website and fill out the Registration card by January 22nd. We will begin the return of students on a staggered schedule starting with our youngest learners first. The dates of return for pre K – K is Monday, February 8th, 1st and 2nd graders will begin on Wednesday, February 10th and 3rd – 5th graders will join us in the building beginning Monday, February 22nd. I want to reiterate all families must fill out this electronic registration card.
I will continue to provide updated information via robo calls, emails and the website. However, if you have any questions and can’t find a quick answer, please contact me either through email @ Joan.franks@mpls.k12.mn.us or at 612.668.3180.
I read a quote this morning that says,
“And suddenly you know…It’s time to start something new and trust the magic of beginnings.”
Have a fabulous weekend!
Joan Franks, Principal
