Hello There,

Well, these sure are crazy times!  I'm so grateful to our school administration for taking the necessary precautions to protect our community.  Nothing is more important than people's health!  It's my understanding that we can "flatten the curve" by intervening immediately (start now) and aggressively (no social interactions).  My office hours are 9 - 11, but please feel free to reach out at anytime.  afallon@bbrsd.org or 508.962.9214.  I will be monitoring my email several times a day.  

Here are some overall suggested activities that I'll be doing with my own kiddos:
