4/6/20 Principal's Staff Update
Access to campus for students - Office is open via an office, quad facing window from 8 to 3.
Teachers, please communicate directly to your own students when the supplies will be available in the front office. Teaches, please work directly with administrators to coordinate the transfer of materials to the front office.
Teachers, you may report to the campus as needed - only guidance given is that you follow social distancing guidelines.
Let's do our best to minimize the number/amount of people on the campus so that we can do our part to stop the spread of COVID-19.
Office Hours Information
This is what the district has published on the website:
How will my child receive equitable access to live student-teacher contact time?
More guidance from CHS administration:
- Teachers need to make sure office hours are posted on their Powerschool Page and Distance Learning plan.
- Teachers should try to maintain the same office hours each week and post changes when hours are adjusted for any reason.
- A minimum of one hour a day is suggested, but teachers may make a schedule that varies such as: MWF 12-2 or TWTH 9-11 (minimum of 5 hours a week).
- Questions/ Communications from students outside office hours need to be responded within 48 hours.
- Questions/ Communications from parents need to be responded to within 48 hours.
- Teachers are not required to video conference.
- The name of the game is communication! Over communicate!

Excerpt:
"Stay focused on your students as PEOPLE and show up for them in authentic ways. Share your thoughts and feelings, let them know you miss them, check to see how they’re doing. Find small moments of connection and let that be the heart of your day."
