Virtual contact can be made via email, phone using the District’s 8x8 system, or through Zoom. (Zoom can be setup as a whole group for a class of students or individually for students that need protection fromFERPA in terms of any support or intervention needed for a specific activity.) In the time from 10am-4pm while a teacher has no direct student or parent contact scheduled, they can be working collaboratively with other content/grade level teachers and the coordinators to prepare for the next week’s activities.
The virtual hours will also apply to any ARD/504 meetings that must occur to be in compliance
with timelines and FAPE. The campus administrator/ARD Facilitator or Evaluator will set up these
Zoom meetings with notification to attendees through Campus ARD Google Calendars.
