I am still working though the details on how Evaluations will work this year. I will send information out soon.
Kim and Ellen did an excellent job of taking phone calls and guiding parents through PowerSchool and Canvas questions which were coming in fast and furious the first couple days.

Thanks to everyone for perservering on your curriculum night videos. I have not had any negative feedback and have made my way through about half of the presentations. Thanks for giving an A+ effort. The Google question forms were sent to parents and will be shared in teams.
I am grateful to Greg for problem solving different tech issues and helping to get us back on track with our classes, students and programs.
I was able to pop into some 5th grade zooms this week. If you you are in the building and want me to pop in just let me know. (or share the zoom link) I like seeing the student faces as much as you do.
Please make sure you remember to fill out the work from form each week and to self-certify each day that you are in the building.
Michelle and Kathy will start the book check-out process for students next week. Direction will be eblasted to parents today.
Danielle has put together a FAQ for Cami. You can find the link down below.
Scholastic Magazine e-version is going to be a significant cost. I am working with our rep and will let you know when the digital accounts will be starting.
Thanks to our teachers and TA's who are working with our in-school student population. They have been outstanding working with the students on new protocols and processes to keep everyone safe and healthy.
PTA will be meeting this Wednesday. I will give updates next week, but a PTA membership is one that gives back ten fold.
Angela was able to learn about some Google tools for game-based learning and has some good links and templates to share. She made a Flippity scavenger hunt to share with you guys (for staff) directly below and then the other three links are for creating your own game based learning activities. Thanks Angela
Thanks to Jessica for spearheading the Star Testing from home information and to Nicole for setting the dates for data meetings. Testing from home will provide new obstacles that we will have to maneuver.
I realize how hard you guys are working on your craft. Learning all of the tools, multiple screens, Zoom this Cami that, video, Synchronous, Canvas discussion, google form etc....I appreciate you taking the risk, and trying things that will help our students and your teaching during this remote learning. Also know that you can, and should take a breath, take care of yourself and mix in some traditional lessons and assignments from time to time.
