Dear CNG Parents/Guardians,
 
The Learning and Teaching Leadership Team (LT2) is pleased to share a series of fun summer learning resources that have been specially curated for CNG. You will find these on our Parents as Partners HUB (password CNGCH) on the tab called Opportunities for Extended Summer Learning at Home.
 
The resources have been categorized around the three pillars of our vision statement to engage our students in activities to educate the mind, strengthen the body, and to develop character through opportunities to practice leadership and service. 
 
The resources have been organized by school building so they are age appropriate and differentiated to promote student agency, choice, and engagement. You will also find a section called Social-Emotional Tools and Tips for a Healthy Vacation Time towards the bottom which we encourage you to review. 
 
Lastly, we are in the process of adding a list of CNG employees who are willing to serve as age-appropriate tutors during the summer weeks in case you and your child would like to consider this option. Tutoring reflects a private arrangement between a family and a tutor and is an independent activity/paid directly by parents/ legal guardians. Please note that all tutors on this list will be following the CNG Code of Honor and Disciplinary Policy and the CNG Children and Adolescent Protection Manual. These are also posted to the bottom of each page.

We hope you and your child(ren) find in these resources a passport to an exciting summer that will keep their brains, bodies, and character active in fun and engaging ways!

MS Middle School

It has been a busy week in middle school. Many students are wrapping up final projects and summatives and focus has been on finishing strong. Our students and teachers have been working so hard for our 12 weeks of distance learning- please congratulate them on this. The 2020 school year will never be forgotten. 
ES Elementary School

Dear ES Families,
Our children could not have been successful during this unpredictable time without the effort we have all invested. It is a time of mixed emotions. While relief comes to mind, so does  joy  - the joy of knowing that we have made a concerted effort on their behalf.  It has made a difference for them and for one another. Cheers to 2019-2020!
Your Partnership is Greatly Appreciated!
PS Primary School

Dear Primary School Parents!  
 
We made it!!!! Three months of distance learning, and although we haven´t been together physically, we´ve grown and united as a community like never before. Teachers, Parents, Students, Admin have come together to support each other, give strength when things seem like they are becoming difficult, celebrate accomplishments and laugh and cry together with the simplest of things. 
Learning Center
Dear Parents,

We want to thank you for your partnership, commitment, and constant communication during these months of distance learning.

Your collaboration has allowed us to turn a difficult time into a huge learning opportunity and we have all come out stronger in the end. It has been heartening to join you in the end of the year transition meetings and hear about all of the growth children have made. During these months children have acquired some of the most important skills for the future. They have grown in responsibility, independence, perseverance, flexibility, adaptability, and resilience, skills that will continue to nourish their academic and personal growth for a long time. 

Thank you!

Learning Center Team

Dear Parents, 
 
We have come to the end of our very unique school year! Please know that you are not alone, as we have all done a lot of growing and learning together as a CNG community during this distance learning time. As we approach the summer and upcoming school year, we sincerely hope you keep filling up your “school bag” with positive routines, inspirational books, new habits, etc. to help you and your family continue to feel safe and perhaps even thrive during this ongoing quarantine.
