Hello Harcourt School students and parents!  This week we are beginning our home learning plan.  Students should be doing one hour of work each day, plus an additional half hour of reading, from Monday to Friday.  Students should also try to engage in social emotional learning activities each day.  The goal of our home learning plan is for students to continue the learning process from home and to have fun.  Remember to take lots of breaks, and not to let yourselves become too stressed.  If you have any questions or concerns about the home learning plan please feel free to contact me by e-mail at nicholas.scully@nbed.nb.ca .
