9.3. Principal's Report

Back to in-person hybrid on Sept. 21st.

Two weeks after Fall Break will be all virtual.

No Fall Festival this year.

We will have some type of Halloween parade, but it will be outside.

No visitors at this time.

Students are in AB schedules, Mon/Tue and Thursday/Friday.

Teachers have communicated these schedules to parents.

Set the school schedule and make sure we have everything as ready as possible.

We know we are not going to think of everything, but this is a two week trial, where we can reflect on what went right, and what needs to be improved.

Virtual Learning report, we have had some early successes, and bumps in the road. We are trying to find the right balance between instruction and activity.

During in-person instruction, virtual will be moved from Wednesday to Wednesday.

First packet pickup is today from 4-6pm at the front of our school.

Meeting earlier today about procedures and instruction.

We are going at this in a slow and steady pace, not going to overwhelm students and parents.

In-Person learning will be different from last year, students will have to maintain social distance and keep their mask on. Teachers will use direct instruction, but small group instruction will be reduced.

We have over 400 student masks in the event parents do not have them.

We have a system of contact tracing in place for the possibility of a positive case.

The one major point I am trying to make is that think about your daily contacts with people, and if you had to go home that night guaranteed, who from the school would go with you.

K-2 Chromebooks not in yet, when they arrive, these will be phased in slowly, so students will be still using some paper packets.

Staff updates-Aaron Randolph and Leslie Melton will be ESS monitors, and Kari Atcher will be our sub in Leslie Owens room.

10. Next Meeting Date the next meeting was scheduled for October 12th, 2020 at 11am in the library.

11. Motion to Adjourn

Motion Passed: The motion to adjourn was passed with a motion by Mrs. Amanda Toomey and a second by Ms. Kim Devine and the consensus of the council.
