IMPORTANT MESSAGE FROM YOUR PRINCIPAL, Dr. Kimberly A. Moore

Information continues to change rapidly and, as you may have heard, Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker announced yesterday that Remote Learning in Illinois will be extended through April 30 in order to slow down the spread of COVID-19. During this time, on-site learning will remain suspended, but our schools’ commitment to learning and education will remain open and learning will continue for all students -- just through a different format.

While it is not ideal, we want to assure you that our teachers and staff are fully engaged and willing to take on this new challenge and push forward with remote learning, and engaging with students. I know this is not the school year that any of us imagined, but I want to thank you for your patience and understanding as we have dealt with this unprecedented situation together.

We will be updating parents with our remote learning plan by Monday, April 6, 2020 and how this differs from the Act of God days. It is important for our students to continue their structure, and consistency during this pandemic and NCA is here for support. Please continue to encourage your child to connect with their teachers through Google Classroom and if they need assistance with their lessons, teachers are just an email away. Therapists and related service personnel will continue to be in contact with families to schedule therapy sessions via phone, WebEx or doxy.me.

NCA will continue to keep parents and guardians updated via SchoolMessenger, email and/or the school website @ www.newconnectionsacademy.net.

We appreciate your partnership, and we will get through this together! As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to me.

Sincerely,

Kimberly A. Moore, Ed.D, LCSW

Principal
