Senator Update for 11/20/20
Dear Senator Nation,
We have our youngest Senators back in the classroom and are
excited to tell you that things are going well! It’s so nice to see their faces bright and happy to be with their teachers in person. With Thanksgiving only days away, please take time to be with your family but also take precautions during the break. We all want to keep our Senators safe, and we continue to be diligent in following state and national guidelines. In this update, you will find recommendations from the CDC and the Delaware Department of Public Health regarding Thanksgiving get-togethers.
Our teachers have been busy with Remote and At-School Learning, and it’s wonderful to see the impact they are having on our students’ education. Please take a moment to read about Mrs. Rhonda Braddy, music teacher for Fairview and Hartly Elementary Schools, who shared with us how she teaches her students virtually. Mrs. Amy Bowen, third-grade teacher at North Dover Elementary, also gave us insight about how our students are learning since Capital transitioned into the Hybrid Model.
The week of November 9th through the 13th was School Psychologist week, and we thank all of our school psychologists who do a great job of helping our students!
Five Dover High students with their art teacher MaryJane Long worked on a mural downtown on the back of Mitten & Winters, CPAs! The mural was created last year but was recently dedicated.
At the bottom of the update, you’ll find information on testing, what is expected from students at school and links to helpful information.
Please stay happy,
healthy and safe over the Thanksgiving holiday and as we continue to navigate
this new way of teaching and learning.
Sincerely,
Dr. Sylvia M.
Henderson
Interim
Superintendent
