Mrs. Eleni Koliopoulos
Hello Room 209 Students and Families,
Thank you all for your kind words, emails, and support this week. As I emailed earlier in the week, I will be taking a full medical leave beginning Quarter 4. Ms. O’Connor (teacher at Ray) will be taking my spot for the rest of the year, and I look forward to returning to Ray at the start of the 2021 school year! Students were informed today (Friday) during our class, and had the opportunity to meet Ms. O’Connor at the end of class :). Ms. O’Connor will co-teach with Ms. Graflund and myself for the remainder of Quarter 3, and fully take over on Monday, April 19th. We will continue communicating important Quarter 4 information as it is received. Information regarding hybrid-learning and remote-learning will be communicated after the break. The remote learning schedule will stay the same for the remote-learners. Notes and Reminders
