Many of you know Mr. Zak as a Math Specialist, however this year, he also assumed a new role of Remote Learning Coordinator for Elementary and Middle School. "Whether it is face to face learning or remote learning, we keep the magic of Discovery happening,"-says Mr. Zak.

In many of our classes in elementary and middle school, remote learners are present for morning meetings, enrichments, math, and language arts. They even get to be part of group assignments and participate in discussions with their peers!
