Star- Learn From Home

Learn From Home Resources

*Dear Star Families- This document was created to provide you with resources for your students to be able to continue to learn from home. During a time of unknown, it is important to provide your child with structure and routines. We hope you will find these resources helpful until we can get back to our regular school schedule. More resources will be added over the next few days.
