Academic Resources for 2-6 students
The Livingston Manor team of administrators and teachers has been working hard in recent weeks to create a variety of online resources for our students and families. We know that there is no perfect way of replicating the instruction our students receive in the classroom. The resource pages consist of links to relevant sources that will support students’ learning during the extended school closure. The goal is to minimize regression and keep students sharp for their return to school.
Teachers will be checking their emails on a regular basis and will be responding to student or parent/guardian inquiries.
The LMCS school community will continue to work together to do what is best for our students as we navigate this situation day by day. Thank you.
Our teachers have compiled the resources below by grade level as well as by curricular area to provide you and your child with specific academic resources while school is closed.
In addition to these specific areas and resources, you can also find additional enrichment opportunities here:
