Monday, March 31
Good evening! As you are planning into next week, Monday is going to be an IMPORTANT day! This day will begin at 8:00 with a Zoom District Meeting. Once this meeting is over, the expectation for all homeroom classroom teachers to open up a 2-way communication opportunity! After the district zoom meeting, a document with guiding questions will be shared with you. The purpose of this communication, is to touch base - remind them if they are wanting/asking for specific work - that we are still in Phase One of the Home-based Education roll-out plan.
All communication from this point forward will need to be documented on your Communication Log (this was shared with you last week - if you don't have it - email Hafey). If you call once and there is no answer, the expectation is to continue your attempt to make contact. Log all attempts. Dr. Ulrich will use this data to share with the state of Colorado our good faith efforts in parent communications. In addition to this, I too will be monitoring these communication logs!
During these phone calls on Monday, March 31 - please be sure to coordinate with Kim. This can be done by conference calling and/or Zoom meeting - either way is good with me - just as long as the homeroom teacher is hosting the meeting - and Kim is interpreting for you. Dr. Ulrich was very clear on this expectation as well. Homeroom teachers need to make contact.
Lastly, there is an expectation that parents are contacted at least once per week - a two-way conversation. Please be sure to log all these communications on your log.
If you have any questions, please let me know. You may Zoom in from home and make calls from home - it is up to you!

2. Let Hafey know if you plan on being in the building on Monday, March 31.
3. Pull out the Guiding Questions for your parent contact. (One of the requests on this document is to check demographic information - if information has changed, please document on the form shared with your from Becky).
