Today's Updates:

Remote Learning

KEEP REPEATING...

Thanks to EVERYONE for all your outreach to families and students! It means the world to them! I joined a couple teams today, and it's great to hear that we're down to just handfuls of kids that we're still working on connecting with. That's because of YOU--your hard work and collaboration.

THANK YOU!!!

I'd ask that we all keep restating that families should do what they CAN DO. The frustration over the whole quarantine combined with our new information is proving to be a little overwhelming to many of our families---and to ALL of us. Please assure families that they should do what they can, ask for help when they need it, and that PERFECT isn't the target.

And...repeat those words to yourselves, too. Regularly! 💜

FOCUS ON FEEDBACK

Thank you for focusing on feedback.

USER GUIDES

Please, please, please don't send out user guides/how to documents to families until they have been viewed and approved by your principal or me. With all the best intentions, families have gotten contradictory and confusing information. Please direct them to the Remote Learning Center to use the "how to" documents created for our system and set up.

THANKS!

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!

If you are willing and able, we need some help with preparing and serving at Grab and Go and with assembling Remote Choice menus for mailing.

Please sign up on this doc if you're able to help.

SPIRIT WEEK!!!

Did you go on a Wednesday Walk today????

Thank you, Amanda Lorenz! 💗

Reminders:

Grab and Go

We now distribute on Monday and Thursday mornings ONLY from 7:30-10:00 at Stanton. You can grab "3 for Me" and everything else you need but we also limit how many staff members need to come in and how often we are asking families to come to school. Social distancing is KEY to us getting back to normal!

Cyber Read Alouds

If you'd like to do a virtual read aloud that I can send out via the Daily Family Update, please sign up on this log. Directions are included. Thanks, Barraza, for setting this up. Please send in your recording the day BEFORE your sign up date so I have it in time to upload and post for the Daily Update. THANK YOU!!!!!

Building Access

When you come into the buildings to get stuff, please be sure to turn off your lights and shut your door when leaving. Helps us save on energy. THANK YOU!

All superintendents have been asked by the Lake County Health Department to make sure the following are in place for all staff who come onsite:

No one can come to work who is sick and/or has a temperature at or above 100.4.
Staff must take their temperatures at home.
If you don't have a thermometer at home, let the administrator on site know and we'll take your temperature for you.
All staff should wear gloves when handling materials at Grab and Go that will be given to families.
