SLED Day #10 Update

We are one week in to this unprecedented time.  Considering the circumstances, I think last week went unbelievably well.  There was so much posted to FB to give families plenty of options of things to do at home. I know there were tons of parent/student contacts made.  There is more happening than I can even keep track of and that is great!  I know there were Zoom meetings, notes sent home, and lots of other neat things happening.  I so appreciate all of it and your openness to try new things during this time.  

Food distribution is going well.  Many of us will start helping with that process tomorrow.   We have worked over the weekend calling families to try to get as many meals as possible shifted to pickup so that our delivery numbers can stay manageable.  We are working to get a system in place that is doable for several weeks.  Please be patient and accommodating this week as you work meal distribution.  The plan is for right now that on Fridays Michelle Cash will send out an invitation of who can work the next week and she will make a schedule based on that.

Several people have asked about collecting SLED work.  The best I can say is to not worry about it at this point.  We are talking about ways we can do it without have any physical contact with people - like a dropoff box outside.  As soon as we have something in place - I will let you know.  However, communication from KDE seems to say - get what NTI work you can get and not worry about it. So don't be stressing about that now. I think a good plan is to stay on top of the online work that your students are doing.

Packets have been mailed home and most are already getting those.  However, we know that some addresses are wrong in IC and not all will receive.  Remind parents that if they see your Remind messages and/or Facebook - they don't have to have a physical packet.  The only people that needs those are people who do not have access to the choiceboards any other way.  With this in mind, it is important that each teacher and grade level remembers to post those choiceboards each day on FB and through Remind.  If a parent contacts you that needs a choiceboard in physical form - contact me and let me know. 

I am also planning for us to do a virtual staff meeting on Wednesday afternoon at 4 pm for all those that can join us.  We are going to try this through Google Hangouts so download that to your phone before that time.  You can do this from home.  If you have questions about it - let me know. On Wednesday afternoon - you will get an email from me to join the meeting.

Thank you all for being the best!  Have a good day!
