S2H and CC Technology helpful information
We are so proud of all the work you have done and jumping in 1000% with all of the technology.
A few things that might be helpful to you:
- When sharing your screen-- don't forget to click the audio button and ALWAYS SHARE THE DESKTOP! This way you can share different things with students without having to reshare your screen each time.
- As you start your Teams meeting and are greeting students (if you can log in 5 minutes early to start greeting students), you might want to project your screen and share a checklist for students to see and things they can be doing while they wait. Attached below is a sample.
- Having a second screen is beyond helpful so that you can monitor student participation and their needs for movement/ breaks while you are teaching. If you don't have a second screen and would like to get this set up please let us know.
- If you have not already, you may want to make yourself a checklist of things to remember as you start the meeting and get your lesson going. This could prove helpful in the event we have to pivot back to virtual after brick and mortar has started and we are out of practice a bit with getting it all set up. Sample checklist below.
- When it is time to change your password--- We are seeing a lag in the time it takes to sync all apps when you change your password. To help--- when you are prompted to change your password do so at the end of the day (after all of your sync time). After you change your password, make sure all applications are closed and restart your computer. When you log back into teams, test and see if you can start one of your meetings. If not, click on your picture in Teams, sign out and then sign back in.

Brick and Mortar Reopen Plans
PPE and Cleaning Materials
Masks- Each staff member was provided 2 reusable and 2 disposable masks. This means that you will may to wash your masks nightly or plan to purchase some on your own. We know that arrival and dismissal are hot right now and masks (along with the rest of us will get sweaty). Some have chosen to purchase their own disposable masks so they can wear those at dismissal.
Hand Sanitizer
With the arrival of our transition students to campus, I wanted to share a piece of important information.
As we utilize our COVID-19 Hand Sanitizer pumps, with fidelity, please do not throw them away when they are running low or run out. We will be continually reusing these pumps and refill with liquid, as needed.
Thank you so much for everything you do, are, and will continue to do for our students, staff and community! You are truly appreciated!
Cleaning Rooms
In the meantime, if you don't have students, you can use your wipes and wipe down the high touch areas in your room. You should have the wipes out and available for anyone who may come to visit your room and sits at a table.
Please email Christina or I with any cleaning concerns you may have so that we can address them with the custodial foreman.
