We made it through the first full week of school! There was so much energy in the building and for the first time in a long time there were sounds of learning, laughing, and excitement! It has been an amazing week observing kids learning in an entirely different way than they are used to. Our teachers have transformed their classrooms into places that can reach students in person and remote at the same time. Our community has poured out support for our students and staff. What I have learned this week is that we can do this. We can provide a meaningful education to students in class and remote. We can work together with parents to provide for our students. We can overcome this pandemic we are in and make the best of the situation. We can succeed. I am excited to continue this journey. I cherish each day we have with our students in our building. I acknowledge the hard work our teachers are putting in to make this work. I see the parents working hard at home to help their kids stay connected. Keep up the great work! We are in this together! I hope everyone has a great weekend!
Look for a Story Walk posted around the school playground. It’s a way to take a mask break, get some fresh air, and practice social distancing, all while enjoying a good book. Our first installment is TWIG by Aura Parker.
Good Morning! Just a quick reminder that all students need to be self-certified by 7:15 each morning. Thank you for your cooperation!

I was not able to get around to see everyone’s google meetings today but did catch this teacher hard at work! I have observed these teachers teaching in person and remote, balancing families and working nonstop to prepare for your kiddos! I have also witnessed them not only learning how to teach online but working with parents to troubleshoot! Our teachers are amazing and we are so blessed to have them!
The IDPH released updated procedures on exclusion guidelines today for schools. We have added the updated guidelines to our Arthur CUSD 305 Return to Learn Plan Fall 2020 document that is linked below.

We had a great first day in 2nd. Started the day with a mask reveal so we could see faces and I got to see some of my former peeps from last year.
We are off to a great start! Group time, stories, and dancing! #GoKnights
As the principal of Atwood-Hammond Grade School I want to take a moment to thank the dedicated teachers and staff that have been working day and night to prepare for the beginning of this school year. They are about to embark on a journey that none of them were prepared for. These teachers have embraced the challenge of not only teaching in person with numerous guidelines and restrictions, but also reaching students remotely. This is not an easy task, but I have full confidence that they will succeed. This community has been nothing but supportive during this whole process and I am sitting here tonight, the night before it all begins, to ask that you continue to show that support to our educators. Many times they are looked at as superheroes with all the answers. While I truly believe they are all heroes, I want to remind you that they are moms, dads, wives, husbands, caregivers, and teachers. They try to make the best choices for the situations they are in. We are ready for the school year! We are ready to come into the year with a positive outlook and we will make the best of this situation. I am so proud to be a Knight! #GoKnights
