Dear Parents,

Thank you so much for your patience, flexibility, support and understanding during this very difficult time. During this school closure, teachers, staff, and district support staff are working hard to ensure students remain engaged in learning and don't lose the momentum that we have been able to achieve so far this year. 

The entire Garfield staff is thinking about our Gator community, family, and students. If there is anything you should need during this time, please contact us. The health, well-being, and safety of your family is very important.  There are multiple resources throughout SAUSD and the community that we can connect you to, if you express a particular need. 

We appreciate you taking time to use the enrichment packets at home. For those of you who were unable to pick up a packet, I have also placed a link, under the news sections, to access and download the packets from home. The packets are not mandatory, but rather, recommended as enrichment opportunities.

Our primary concern is both your health and the health of your family at this time.  I do not want to add any additional stress to you or your child so please know that we are here to support you in any way possible. Garfield teachers are available to be reached via a message on Class Dojo or through their email.  Teacher email addresses are on their website and you can click on the teachers tab on our website for the information. I will be working during our closure and will check my email frequently. I can be reached at kerri.braun@sausd.us 

I sincerely appreciate your patience and understanding during this difficult time.  Take care of yourselves and we are looking forward to seeing you when we return! Please enjoy this time also to spend quality time together: exercise, read, play games, and read together. This time can  bring families together in a positive way! 

All the best,

Dr. Braun
