Remote Learning Preparation Reminders

 In preparation for remote learning, we need all in-person teachers to complete the Google form by this Sunday, November 15: https://forms.gle/3yaCZzwQgimMT2AF7 identifying which subject (ELA or math) you will be teaching virtually in your classroom all next week. During the lessons, we expect the following:

    ·     Blocksi being utilized for classroom management

    ·     All asynchronous classwork and assignments being posted to Google Classroom (no worksheets) for students to access

    ·     Students accessing the Google Meet link independently

    ·     All students utilizing their Chromebooks the entire lesson

   

   In addition, as we prepare for “unscheduled” remote learning, please ensure:

·     2^nd through 8^th grade assessments are being taken through EdCite.

·     Students take home their Chromebooks every night.

Please remember to seek out assistance and support from your “virtual” colleagues and/or the admin team.

Off Your Plate

 

I know each of you have a lot that is required of you right now. There isn’t a lot that I can take off your plates, but here are two small things that I can offer you:

·      You are no longer required to change your bulletin board by Wednesday. As long as it's not the same one from the beginning of the school year. 😀

·      You do not have to print report cards. I am informing families that they can view them from the Parent Portal and can call the office if they need a printed copy.

Gratitude Challenge-Week 2

 

We had 34 staff members participate in the Gratitude Challenge last week. I enjoyed reading the things that you value and appreciate. If you are participating in Week 2 (November 8-14) of the Gratitude Challenge, please make sure to turn in your gratitude jar to me on Monday, November 16. This week I was grateful for…

·      November 8: My college “girl squad” calling and checking on me. It was great to catch up.  

·      November 9: My daughters being independent and packing their own lunches.

·      November 10: Meeting my weekly quota for working out.  

·      November 11: My husband always willing to help.

·      November 12: Staff that continue to give their all despite the circumstances.  

·      November 13: For the weekend!

·      November 14: Spending time with sister. My daughters love their Titi.
