Announcements/Reminders
Chromebooks for Students
If you have parents that have reached out to you to inquire about receiving a Chromebook be sure to add them to this document so they can be contacted to pick up the device. Be sure to highlight their name so they are not missed for the pick up for round 2!
SSA
The county has come up with guidance around students participating in SSA as we enter full remote learning. Students who were previously participating in SSA should continue participating in SSA. This is a structure that needs to continue, to the degree possible, during this period of remote learning. It is recommended that the teacher who has been providing the above grade level content provide continued learning at the above grade level standards while engaging in remote learning. This teacher should reach out to students participating in SSA as they would any other student for whom they provide instruction.
Intervention During Remote Learning
Intervention Teachers and Team Facilitators can support teaching and learning by collaborating with teachers to provide the best possible framework for remote learning to take place. This work would include the following steps:
Collaborate with teachers to determine the current well-being and readiness for the learning of each student.
Collaborate with teachers to identify and remove barriers in order to create the best possible learning framework by:
Assist teachers in identifying appropriate instructional technology resources to support learning
Ensuring teachers have instructional materials needed to plan and deliver lessons
Ensuring both teachers and students are knowledgeable about using designated online platforms (remote learning resources):
Google Hangout
Google Classroom, SeeSaw, Canvas
Instructional programs
When possible, work with teachers to create a consistent schedule (when feasible) with groups or individual students for receiving intervention instruction based on Wake County guidelines for communication.
Virtual meetings will provide insight on how to continue to support your students with Supplemental and Intensive needs.
Student Support Services
If you have students/families that you have not heard from at all, please contact Chloe or Jordan for assistance. They will reach out to the family to follow up. Chloe is working primarily with Track 1 and 3. Jordan is working with Track 2 and 4.
Staff, if parents contact you about mental health concerns related to their child or the need for resources, please contact Chloe or Jordan immediately. While counselors are not providing direct services during school closure, they will work to connect the family with appropriate community resources.
Specialists Remote Learning Information
Please see the information shared by Peggy of 4/11 regarding Remote Learning from Specialists.
State of Emergency Leave
If you have questions about State of Emergency Leave, please refer to Kaye's email from April 3.
Self-Care During Difficult Times
See the March 23 email from Jasmin Traughber with resources about self-care. Please engage in self-care - it's so important - especially now. And hey - the more time you have to practice them now and make them routine, the more likely you may use them when we are up and running again - and maybe a great thing to teach your kiddos and start your days off. Just a thought! Here are some free resources from Calm.
