Team Remote Updates: Week of 1/11

Hello, Team Remote Families! "Prudence" is our character trait for the week, highlighting the importance of setting goals and making wise choices. With the new year in full swing, it seems like a great time to renew our collective commitment to working toward personal goals whether they are related to school or other aspects of our lives. Of course, my mind goes to two things when I hear the word prudence--the Beatles' "Dear Prudence" and the Dana Carvey SNL impersonation of George H. W. Bush (wow...thirty years ago!)..."Not gonna do it, wouldn't be prudent." You can read more about prudence here.

This week's blog post has some news and notes from around the district as well as more technology tutorials.
