4/3/2020 Medical Lake Update

~MLSD is committed to keep us together and our bonds strong~

Message from the Superintendent of the Medical Lake School District

Dear Families,

This is just a simple message to wish you well with hopes of having a nice family break from the chaos created by COVID-19. I know it has been a difficult time for many families with making adjustments to all the rapid changes coming at you. Take care next week and if you can have a wonderful staycation during Spring Vacation from Monday, April 6th to Friday, April 10th.

Teaching and Learning

We at MLSD want all of our families to know that we experience many of the same struggles and stressors that you do as we navigate this school from home experience. We are here to support you and your children throughout this process. Here is a glimpse of school from home at our house and some other tips that hopefully help. Thank you for all you are doing. We appreciate your partnership.

Kim Headrick

Assistant Superintendent of Teaching and Learning
