1 week down!
Hello Team!
What a week! This has been a week of learning, growing, and adapting. Thank you for your flexibility and grace. We knew this was not going to be easy, but I would not want to do this work with any other team. Next week will be better and the week after will be even better. Yall have been working so hard and I am continually inspired and motivated by everyone on this team. We go this! Make sure to note the action steps at the bottom of the newsletter.

Covid- 19 Updates from Brittany
We hope that all of you are staying safe and continuing to relocate safely to San
Antonio. We have been hard at work here working with new information every day from
local, state and federal agencies and have some significant updates to share. We have
shared the following documents with families and we are asking you all to read and
familiarize yourself with these documents:
• COVID Web page
https://sites.google.com/compassrosesa.org/instructionalhub/covid-19-our-plan-for-a-safe-return?authuser=0 – this is the public web site that we will continue to update and revise as we move forward.
• Virtual Learning Plan

Video reminders for next week
Lesson plans due on Tuesday
Emails to read over the weekend
Donors Choose Project - Optional but highly encouraged
Here are some quick steps:
1) Go to this site: https://www.donorschoose.org/teachers
2) Use your personal email and select Compass Rose Academy with the Outer Circle address.
3) Begin writing up your project.
Our budget is very tight and we have minimal funds around the following items:
a. Classroom libraries – this would consist of a bank of independent reading books for students that they could read or check out in your classroom.
b. Professional Development – these would consist of, now mostly online, opportunities for you to engage in content relevant to you.
c. Field Trips – a typical bus for a day costs from $1,000 - $1,500. Buses will also have spaced out seating so that means we need twice as many buses per field trip now. These may be limited now, in our situation.
d. Other classroom supplies tied to projects or resources that you may want for your classroom.
4) Once you have set up your account and posted a need, please let both Brittany and Monica know that you set up an account.
