Message from Marathi Shala

Hello Parents,

Hopefully by now you all have an established routine at home with kids, their activities, their studies etc. These certainly are very challenging times. We hope that you all are healthy and safe.

BMM has taken the decision to postpone the Marathi exams to October or November. We will have Assessment Tests in September.

At this point we really don’t know when kids will be able to go back to schools or Shala. In order to stay in touch with kids and help them stay in touch with Marathi, beginning Sunday 4/5/20, the Troy and Canton Marathi Shala plan on having online sessions with kids, either using Zoom or Google Hangouts. These sessions will be 40 to 45 minutes in duration. We will need your help in setting up these meetings for kids. It will be very helpful if you could stay around during these sessions, in case kids run into any technical difficulties.

Your kid’s teachers will share details with you, including start times. Most of the sessions will be at 4pm on Sunday, however some teachers might change it if they have a conflict.
Stay indoors, stay safe. Please contact us at marathishla@mmdet.org for any information.
