Hi all-
I hope you had a great day. It was nice to see you this morning. I know you are excited to get back to teaching students. The work each of you has done is incredible. Thank you for sharing it. I am so impressed.
I wanted to clarify a few things about the suggested schedule. The word "suggested" is for students. I apologize if that was not clear to everyone. You should have your new content ready for the designated time of your class each day. Teachers should only schedule student instructional meetings during their class period and cannot combine class sections. Those students should be attending to their other classes at that time. Similarly to when we are in school. you can offer additional meeting times or extra help but please make sure it is outside of the scheduled school time (after 1pm). Those meetings can be in addition to what you offer during the schedule, not in place of. Let me know if you have questions. You do not need to use the calendar anymore to share when you have scheduled student meetings during regular class times. If you are doing something after school hours please put it there. I will echo and repeat what Sue said this morning....take this slowly. Focus on getting your class structures and expectations in place and monitoring if your students are participating. Yes, we are moving forward with curriculum, but let's do it in a way that gives students a chance to figure things out.
As you start to set up meeting time with students our IT department has shared they do have no student privacy concerns with Google Hangouts/Meet. (I'm not sure which is which). You might want to consider using that as a face to face meeting space.
In any format, ask students to change their name to just their first name.
Kids are nervous and confused. I am sure many of you are too. We expect this to be confusing for a few weeks, but we'll get there.
If you want the recording of today's faculty meeting sent to you, let me know! I am still working on my ability to edit and attach. I haven't had time today to finish writing out the answers to faculty questions yet but will drop it in when I do!
Please complete this Accounting survey if you collect any money from students. We need to know who might have money that has not been deposited in the building.
Please complete the attached Google Doc listing all online programs currently being used. The IT department needs this information.
At this time we are not able to discuss trips and/or activity planning for next year. I have had some students reach out to ask. We need to wait a few weeks and let the learning structure get settled.
I know there are things I am forgetting to include here. My apologies!
