Hi my students! First, let me say I miss you all, and I hope you are doing well and staying healthy and safe. Things are changing at a rapid pace-- PLEASE don't worry.  I know this is unprecedented, but we will all get through it.  I have been getting a lot of questions about what you should be doing right now.  Please be sure to check out the supplemental resources that Wake County has made available to you through the Wake portal/Wake ID.  Also, keep reading your novel Flush .  It is a great story, and I don't want you to miss out on it.  As I get more information, I will be in touch through this website.  Stay safe out there!  Hug the people you love!
