Moving Day
________________________________________________
In-Person Orientation
August 24 and 25 - Students will come in on one day from 9-11 or 1-3 for an orientation. They will sign-up on Sign-Up Genius. We will split the kids so that one grade is in the morning and one in the afternoon on each day. For example in the K/1 split classrooms - 1/2 of the kinders will come in on the morning of the 24th and the other half on the morning of the 25th. Half of the 1st graders will come in on the afternoon of the 24th and the rest on the afternoon of the 25th.
The purpose of these days is to meet the kids in person. Get them used to some of the routines about where to line-up, taking temps, where to dismiss, etc. The other, bigger purpose is to help them make sure all of their technology is working and get them logged into all of their apps/programs etc.
Augst 31 & Sept 1 - Kinder through 3rd grade students will come in for a 20 minute assessment window to begin Diebels. 4th and 5th will not come in during these days.

Meetings/Trainings
- Acadience (Diebels) - required for K-3. Amy will reach out to all of you to choose a time for this that works for everyone. It should take about an hour.
- Safety video - This is a 30-minute video. I will attach the video here. Please feel free to watch it on your own. Otherwise, join me on Zoom on Tuesday at 10:30 am to watch it together and debrief. It is required that everyone watch it.
- Class Lists - We don't need a whole staff meeting for this, but teams will need to meet to iron out class lists. Amy is working on updating our Jamboard from the spring and taking out students who have chosen remote. You should be able to look at these lists and modify them to fit this year. It may still be helpful to have the previous year's teachers glance at your list before finalizing.
- Curriculum updates - If you did not attend the training on Friday or in the spring on the curriculum updates, you will need to coordinate a time with Amy to receive this training.
