Trust the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. ~ Proverbs 3:5
Dear Magnuson Families and Staff,
It is with great sadness and disappointment we share the news that today, Governor Walz announced that Minnesota schools will be closed for the remainder of the 2019-2020 school year. As part of this order Walz instructed Minnesota schools to continue distance learning through the remainder of the academic school year.
While this news was anticipated by many, it is still very difficult for all of us to end the school year in this way. We miss our students, we miss our families, we miss being together!
What does this announcement mean for Magnuson Christian School?
Our wonderful students and staff will continue to teach through remote learning for the remainder of the school year. All of our amazing teachers continue to work countless hours to provide our children with the best quality education. The teachers are amazing, and the students are amazing as well! We are so very proud of each and every one of them and their efforts.
Additional information will be sent out to families next week about when our next distance learning pick up will be, when personal items may be picked up, and when items will be returned to school.
What does this announcement mean for Eighth Grade Graduation?
We know this raises questions about graduation for our 8th graders. This is not how anyone had planned to finish out this school year. Our staff is so disappointed that this is how this school year has to end. We have watched you grow personally, academically, and spiritually and are so very proud of your accomplishments. We are exploring options and remaining hopeful that some time this summer we can come together to celebrate our school year and be in community with one another.
We are so very saddened by the need to end the school year in this way. Please know that the health and safety of our students and staff continues to be of upmost importance to us. We are trusting that finishing the school year through remote learning is one of the most effective ways we can do our part to avoid exposing anyone to unnecessary risks.
Please know our thoughts and prayers are with each of your families during this challenging time. Please know you can reach out to us at anytime, we want to support you.
With much love,
Mrs. Norman
And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose. ~ Romans 8:28
