Hello parents!  It has been so great to make initial contact with you.  Yes, we are working together through the glitches, but I want to thank you for your support and your perseverance.  I am learning how to navigate through this with you.  I support you and I am so thankful that you equally have support for me.  It has been wonderful to chat individually with your child.......I miss them so much and it has been a blessing to connect and hear and see them. We will keep this up, it is so valuable!  I am overwhelmed but pleased with the feedback on the lesson plans.  Good on you, mom,dad, grandparents and all who are helping your child, grandchild to succeed!  This is not an easy endeavor, but thank you for all you have done.  The pictures, the videos, are fantastic, and stored in your child's file.  Again, thank you for your support.
