- Teachers and EAs are not required to report to work at anytime this week.<\/li>
- All staff report back to work on March 30th. (Students will start on April 1st.)<\/li>
- There is no expectation to provide students with work during the closure. There is no expectation that you change whether or not you send home iPads.<\/li>
- Brad and Tim will be deep cleaning this week so please do your best to clear clutter and make it easier to access all surfaces. Plants and animals should go home (or make sure they are cared for during the extended break)<\/li>
- All other facility use will be canceled and the school will be locked up during this time.<\/li>
- Construction on the office will occur during the day now – we are putting a plan together to complete it before we all return.<\/li>
- Shawna and I will be in the office Monday through Friday during normal hours to answer phones, however there may be a day or two when we have to work from home due to the construction.<\/li>
- At this time, the conference schedule remains as is. We have an all admin meeting Monday morning to discuss the return in more detail so be prepared for changes, but for now, no changes are being communicated to me.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
2020-2021 Master Schedule<\/strong> – We were able to make a few tweaks to the Kinder and \u2154 schedules and it appears that this created some needed solutions to the concerns. The next step will be to apply staffing to make sure priorities of reading intervention, supervision, and tier III student behavior supports are being met. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Earth2O water cooler costs <\/strong>– FYI – the cost for the bottled water in the teachers\u2019 room has gone up along with our consumption. We exceeded what was originally budgeted by PTO to cover this cost for the year already, so we will cover the difference from our school budget. Moving forward we will need to make some decisions about whether or not we can continue with this service or if we need to explore something else to provide filtered drinking water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2020-2021 Staffing Update – <\/strong>not much to update on this front. Staffing plans are just about ready to be shared with principals. <\/strong>For our site, I don\u2019t anticipate much change, if any, in terms of assignments or added FTE\/hours but I will be prepared to appreciate anything we get.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Artist Introduction<\/strong>; I wanted to provide some information on potential Artist-in-Residence for you to keep in mind as a future resource. One of our parents, Kimberly Costa-Stearns has already provided some volunteer work for a few classes and she is looking to expand her availability as an artist-teacher. Linked below you will find her bio and a few samples of some work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
