are working towards continuing to train our teachers and work with our students with Google classroom and I know a lot of you parents have taken the Google train things I received so many wonderful emails from you that were really pretty pretty decorated and just until that you have been enjoying that so big push is to continue all of our our students are teachers and our parents Google classroom alternative income forms and so I'm sure one in this meeting has submitted it I'll reach out to parents and check in with them and remind them to submit those because it does jeopardize our free and reduced lunch for all of our students if we don't have 100% Meet the Millers trailer we just finished our progress reports so our students parents met with our teachers and went over the six-week progress report to give all of our families and understanding of where the kids are right now and next month will actually wow us next week in November we'll have our report cards so if
