Pleasant Valley Staff Newsletter
Week of April 27, 2020
Our mission is to empower and inspire a community of lifelong learners and leaders.
I know this not how any of us wanted the year to end.
I am working on the plan for parents to come into the building and classrooms to gather their child's belongings. I communicated to them that a plan would be shared with them next Friday, May 1, 2020. In addition to belongings, I want them to take any consumables and their spring pictures as well and have a place to drop off their library books. I worked with Greenbriar's admin team to make the plan consistent for parents who have both elementary and middle school-aged children.
The building will be open for teachers during the weeks of May 4th and May 11th from Monday-Thursday 8-3 pm. This access is optional for you as many of you may want to prepare your room for the summer break, remove personal items, and organize students' items for parent pick up as parents will be allowed inside the classrooms. I prefer to have the items picked up to be on each child's desk or work area so it can be a quick in and out for them. More details will be communicated with you next Friday.
I am also working on a Google Form to be completed for next year's Class Lists. This will replace blue and pink forms we have used in the past. This will help teams build classes remotely. I plan to have this to teams by next week.
Again, you are wonderful and amaze me! I am appreciative of all of your dedication, innovation, and willingness to learn new ways to teach and communicate!
Be well and have a great weekend and week,
Stephanie

Request for Student Check-in
WE WILL RESET THIS PROCEDURE FOR THE MONTH OF MAY
This Form is for Teachers or Related Service Only:
If you have a student who you have not been able to engage during this Distance Learning Phase or a student/family you have concerns about and would like Administration or our Home Liaison to reach out to the family, please complete the following Google Form.
Criteria for a request of support should be two attempts (email, phone, Class Apps, etc.) to the family by the classroom teacher. Please allow 24- 48 hours between each contact to the student/ family. AGAIN THIS STARTS AGAIN FOR THE MONTH OF MAY! If a child will be receiving an "F" for Fail or is not engaged at all, we need to know and hold that parent accountable and make sure our learners are safe. We are on your team! We need you to communicate these concerns with us through this form, so we have all attempts documented!
