Updates<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Summer Learning!<\/strong>  Our district is continuing to look for teachers to help support the summer learning they are calling SPARKS.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The summer instruction, grades 6 \u2013 12 programming has a name, its SPARKS<\/strong>. Our district has created a helpful and informative document that provides behind-the-scenes information regarding what this summer will look like for students and staff. Please see this document <\/a>for more details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

It was verified this week that iPads will not be turned in this June<\/strong>. Due to summer learning opportunities, we will ask our students to hold on to their iPads (just like they did last spring).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Last week of school<\/strong>: Some of you have wondered about what the last week of school schedule will look like this year. Now that we are all-in, and assuming we stay all-in for the remainder of this year, we will be following the original calendar during these last days of this school year. Specifically, during the last week of school, Monday and Tuesday are \u201cregular\u201d days, Wednesday is a \u201cregular\u201d (full-length) day, Thursday will be an \u201cSIW release\u201d day, and Friday is a work day for teachers and their last day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Supervision<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Here is the supervision schedule for this week. If you need to make any changes to your supervision assignment day\/time, please see Kathy Russell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

** It’s important that we have supervision areas covered each day now that we have all our students back. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To Do<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Required for Contact Tracing<\/strong>: – Seating assignments\/assigned seating must be developed and used with fidelity in all classes. I also want to emphasize the importance of taking accurate attendance every period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These are key strategies in our ability to accurately contact trace.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Assigned seating and taking accurate, daily attendance, provides teachers with the ability to quickly provide contact tracers with the names of students who may have been in close contact with a COVID-19 peer and to isolate and slow the spread of the virus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Particularly at the high school level, our district has come across classroom teachers who are unable to quickly produce valuable assigned seating charts. While they hope this is an anomaly, it is an opportunity to provide a chance to double-check procedures. In some instances, because they can not accurately identify the students closest to a student testing positive, the result can be more students being quarantined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
