Christa McAuliffe School

Hello and welcome back everyone! I hope your vacation was fun-filled and rewarding. We kicked off the new decade with the return of your children and by hosting the first half of the Progressive Education Network’s National Institute. The standout comments from the participants of the Institute focused around their discussion of current themes in Progressive Education and their immersion experience at McA on Thursday and Friday.

Dear McAuliffe Families, Over the past few weeks, Covid 19 has placed us into a situation where we both locally and in the community at large have enacted some of the most drastic measures to stop the tide of this unprecedented (in our time) virus. While school closures have happened in the past, we recognize the incredible burden that an act of this magnitude has on you and your family.

Good afternoon everyone, I hope that the start of this week has been less chaotic and more peaceful. That you are safe and healthy and that you are starting to settle in to the "new normal". This has clearly had an impact on all of us. Tuesday was day 1 of the County Shelter in Place order. Ali and I woke up early, made breakfast for the kids, took the pup to the vet (previously scheduled appointment makes it okay right?), grabbed take out coffee from Peet’s and then went for a walk around the neighborhood.

So long 2019...It’s been fun! I’m not sure why each year, just around this time, I find myself surprised that the days have sped by, our kids have grown a few inches, and we’ve gotten a bit older and hopefully wiser as well. There’s a lot to be happy about -- celebrations with family and friends, family vacations, time at home, and just a break from the hustle and bustle of Silicon Valley life.
