Happy First Day of School!!!!
Hello Team!!
Tomorrow is the day and I could not be more excited. You all have worked so hard ( see the evidence below) to prepare for this moment. I am so lucky that each of you decided to embark on this journey with us. Tomorrow will be a little hectic. I will not lie to you and say that everything will be rainbows and sunshine. However, make sure to bring the JOY in all that you do. Below I have provided a few reminders and documents to help you navigate tomorrow. I want to make sure you have everything you need in one place. I have also included a few action items as reminders at the bottom of this newsletter. We got this team!!!
Clear Goals, Full Hearts, All In! JAR!

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

Action Items
Zoom Pro Accounts
You all should have received Zoom Pro Account emails. Please update your account after school tomorrow and submit new information here - https://forms.gle/pc8g2E3rdLXYsDsD6 .
PD information for next week
PD will occur Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday of next week from 2:30 -3:30. Please use the same link for the morning huddles for PD. The link will also be on your calendar. Make sure that you have the CR Legacy Middle School calendar checked so you are receiving all invites.
Add your personal meeting room information to your Google Classroom.
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.
