Aug 10, 2020
Introduction
The education of all City School students has adapted and adopted to take into account the ‘new normal’. We all hope you are safe and hope that the ‘old normal’ returns soon. We know both our students and teachers are missing each other and missing working together within a school environment. Under these difficult conditions our Microsoft School status has helped us in making the best of the learning time online, through the City School blended learning platform. We have managed to deliver 16 weeks of online classes, but we also know that we could not have achieved this without your help. We appreciate all you have done to make online learning accessible and successful for your children, our students.
