Dear Fellow Teacher, I wanted to let you know that I will not be in the classroom all of next week and the following Monday. Prior to agreeing to teach at Ulmus Academy, I made a commitment to travel to Kampala, Uganda to serve at Faithfully Nurturing Children Academy with a team of eleven others. Plans have been made to continue educating your students in the same manner as they have been accustomed to from the beginning of the school year. The only difference may be a slight change in the schedule to accommodate those who will fill in for me. The curriculum will remain the same. However, grades may be delayed as I will be the one reviewing the students’ work when I return. Substitute teachers have been chosen. These educators will have the same expectations I have. Students will be expected to adhere to Ulmus’s Statement of Accountability. Class participation and homework completion will remain consistent. I encourage you to check out FNC’s website (https://www.fncacademy.org/index.html) and to watch Queen of Katwe, a Disney movie based on the true story of Phiona Mutesi, who is from Kampala, Uganda and whose life is changed when she discovers her talent for chess. These activities will give you and your child a glimpse of where I will be serving for five out the nine days of travel. If you have any questions, please reach out. Thank you, Connie Heberlein
