Hey Team,
I hope each of you are healthy and staying safe. It's been a fast-paced week with the many changes that have happened over this last week. I am encouraged by how well you all have acclimated to our new "normal" and thank you for dealing with the many emails.
I am encouraged by your willingness to support our students through all of the various adjustments that we all have had to make. I am encouraged that you all have made yourself available for your students and parents in whatever platform that you have chosen.
As you continue to service our students, please remember to reach out to your parents and students no less than once a week. Even if you sent out packets, you need to check in. There should be a way for students to seek help if they need it. I commend those teachers that are in constant contact with their kiddos. Remember, you want to have balance in your lives. You shouldn't be constantly on call. I would recommend informing your families of your "office hours". This is a very stressful time and you need to take time for yourselves and your families. I would like to see what are doing with the students.
If you haven't done so already, I would like an invitation to your Google Classroom, YouTube sites, or any other means of communication with the students.
Lastly, my desire is for us to stay TEAM STRONG. If you come across helpful resources, share them with the wing in an email. Remember, we are stronger together! I will be checking in on you guys. Please know that I am here for you if you need me.
One last thing, please be careful of what you share with parents as it pertains to your thoughts about the length of school closure or any questions of this nature. You can use, "final decisions are still be determined." Feel free to forward any emails to me if you need to!
This still seems unreal but I am encouraged that things will get better!
Parent-Teacher Conferences
It is Parent- Teacher Conference week. All conferences will be held by phone. Use the forms from the email about conferences. The good thing is that most people are home and it should not be difficult speaking with 100% of your parents.
