Remote Learning Planning Days
Tomorrow will be our second Remote Learning Planning Day. Work should still be pushed out to students. However, you will not hold normal "office hours" due to planning and collaboration. We will have two more planning days on May 13 and May 27.
We will also hold our Instructional Support Meetings. The meeting schedule and links are as follows. The links can also be found on the calendar on the Remote Learning Site (blue button at top of newsletter will take you to the site).

Packing Up/Closing Up Rooms
Beginning on May 4 and concluding on May 15, I will open the building for teachers to pack and close their rooms for the summer. I will assess if more time is needed. However, we are being asked to pack up during these two weeks. Much like the last time I opened the building, there will be a schedule, no more than ten people will be allowed in the building at a time, and all state and federal social distancing guidelines must be followed.
Signing up
- The link can be found below
- If you require assistance and will bring another person with, they will count as one of the 10. You will also need to account for them on the signup sheet.
- The day is split into two shifts 9-12 and 12-4. If you are coming for the full day, please write your name on both the AM and PM slots.
- If your schedule changes and will not be coming in during your time, please change the signup sheet so that someone else can use the time.
- Please reach out to me with specific questions of clarifications.
Packing Classrooms Details
We will use the following procedures for packing students’ belongings.
- All desks, lockers, bins, or other student storage must be collected and boxed. The district is supplying small boxes and tape for this. It is OK to use more than one box if necessary.
- Boxes must be labeled with the following information student's first name, student's last name, teacher name, room number, grade level, and number of boxes. I plan to supply color-coded labels for the boxes to make labeling and reuniting easier.
- Packed boxes will be stacked outside of the classroom. I will then have the boxes moved to a central location to be reunited with the students.
- During the week of June 1, parents will be able to drive up to Door 1, where I will reunite them with their belongings. This will be done in an organized fashion and grade levels assigned certain days and times. Also, during this time, students will be required to return library books, Chromebooks, or other instructional materials. We know that there will be some stuff that is not returned. We will do our best to get it back once students return to school.
We will use the following procedures for packing up classrooms, boxes and tape will be supplied again.
- All personal belongings must be taken home (please talk with me for specific situations)
- All Instructional material should be boxed or covered on shelves. Some instructional materials may need to be boxed to be moved to the district office or another school, depending on the number of sections.
- ***All TEs and other necessary teacher instructional materials should be boxed separately from everything else, labeled, and placed on top of the teacher desk.***
- All desks and furniture must be emptied, so that ABM can easily move.
- Classroom phone should stay out, it will be replaced during the summer.
- All boxes should be clearly labeled, and I will create and supply standard labels. This will help movement if and when necessary.
- Walls must also be clear of posters or other instructional material. Bulletin boards may be covered
- All Classroom library books, or other books bought with Title money will stay with the classroom/grade level and should be boxed accordingly.
- There will be a place to deposit keys and ID badges near the office once completed.
