Summer is a chance to relax and reset before another school year begins. After the unusual end to this year, it’s more important than ever before to take some moments to have fun. But, it’s also a good idea to spend some time preparing for the return of school.
What can we do now to get ready for the new school year, regardless of if instruction is remote or in person? How can we make the transition to the new year as smooth as possible? What are some new ideas for communicating with parents for the next school year? How can we use the summer as a way to reset before school begins?
This month, we delved into these topics and more! Check out this month’s Learning Network resources:
