• G – Goal: What are our shared hopes for our students’ growth this year?
• R – Reality: What’s working well—and what’s not—in the virtual space?
• O – Obstacles: What challenges are families currently facing at home or online?
• W – Work: What can we do together to move forward with purpose and support?
