Flu Shots

 


On November 4 we will be offering the flu shot to all staff for free in the staff lounge. We know it’s over a month away, but that was the earliest appointment that we could get.

Progress Reports

 


Parents will be viewing their child’s progress report on the Parent Portal on October 8. As a part of our Green School initiative, we will not be printing progress reports. Please make sure that you have a true representation of their child’s academic progress by having enough grades entered by October 8.

Virtual Instruction Preparation

 

During our staff meeting, you were informed that we want to be proactive in case an entire class has to quarantine. As a reminder, please make sure the following is done by September 24.

    ·      Google Classroom has been created.

    ·      Synchronous schedule and student groups are saved on the U-Drive à 2021-22 Teacher Documents à Virtual Instruction à Grade Level folder.

·      To ensure we are still providing high quality instruction, Y5s-5 should have two sets of student groups:

1.    ELA and math: students are divided into 3 groups for math and ELA instruction.

2.    All other subjects: students are divided into 2 groups.

    ·      K-5 synchronous schedule must include the following:

1.   3-30 minute ELA sections, 3-30 minute math sections, Workshop (ELA and math), specials, office hours, and two sections of science, social studies, and writing. See the many examples on the U-drive à 2020-21 Teacher Document à Remote Model à Trimester 2 folder.

Please see your team lead for assistance with this task because all team leads have created synchronous schedules last year that were approved meeting the criterion above.

Lastly, please make sure your dean approves your synchronous schedule.
