A/B Student Schedule on August 27 & 28 (Thurs/Fri)
The District will use an A/B Schedule for all grade levels on Thursday and Friday, August 27 & 28. This schedule reduces the number of students in each school by 50% to better allow staff and the administration to review expectations, practices and protocols for the 20-21 school year.
Team A Rotation will meet on Thursday the 27th and Team B Rotation will meet on Friday the 28th. This provides us a chance to practice the A/B model in case it is needed later in the year. Your principal has information to determine Team A and Team B. This is not a task assigned to staff.
The expectation is that staff will teach the same lesson with students on both days and there would be no expectation of teaching remotely to the 50% of students not in attendance. The A/B model is only being planned for the first two days.
Monday, September 1st, we will be back to a traditional schedule. The District will work to communicate this to parents and encourages schools to do so, as well. If a child does attend on the wrong day, we will maintain that child, but we also need to assist their parents in better understanding the A/B process.
Flexible Seating Classroom
The District has ordered supplies for staff who wish to create their own dividers. Ask your principal how to access those resources! In this example, the teacher took a trip to a local retailer and put her handy husband to work "outfitting" her room.
While the District is not requiring dividers, this could serve as a model for the possibilities!
