Hi Time folks,
More than anything I hope you, your families and friends, are safe and well. This uncertainty is unsettling, to say the least.
I want to reach out to say that I have been in the process of reconfiguring how we will proceed online for the time being. Before next Monday, I will reach out again with an email introducing our immediate plans for moving forward and what this looks like.
Before then, I’d like to please survey your individual access to technology resources. Please open, read, and complete the following google form survey which will help me assess how we can best move forward with what is available at hand. Link here: https://forms.gle/6hZhepX7FmqEgGCs6. Please complete ASAP, the sooner I get results from everyone, the quicker I can follow up with our immediate plans. Thank you for your cooperation.
***Also, to those who do not yet have a student subscription to Adobe, some good news is that they are now offering free creative cloud tools to students through May 31, 2020. I encourage you to download the Adobe software if you have not yet. Link here: https://theblog.adobe.com/adobe-enables-distance-learning-globally-schools-impacted-covid-19/
Thinking about you all. Please keep in close contact, more updates soon.
My very best,
Evie
