  Bridlewood School Welcomes You to Online Learning March 29. 2020   Good morning Students, Parents and Guardians, We hope you are well and have had a restful spring break.  We are indeed living in unprecedented times, and filled with wonder in terms of what the future will bring us with ongoing learning.  For the foreseeable future, together we will delve into the world of online learning.  The CBE has spent the past two weeks creating programming opportunities that will be distributed online for our students.  Our teachers are taking up this work on a very steep learning curve to provide learning opportunities & activities that will begin in the next couple of days. The following tentative timeline will assist families in your planning to take up this work at home: Monday, March 30  your child’s homeroom teacher will connect with you to discuss your  child’s access to technology  at home, including  access to a computer  and the  internet.  Teachers will email
