Weather Reminder for Hybrid Students
Hello! Principals have been asked to share that there may be times throughout the next semester where moving to “remote” status (class or school) may occur for myriad reasons (e.g. health issue, coverage concern, inclement weather day). In all of these situations, there will most likely be very little notice. I have a "triage" list of how to fill a teacher's position for the day if they have to call in sick, or for an extended time if they are unable to enter the building due to quarantine or extended symptoms. This list includes non-classroom teachers or myself teaching class, teachers teaching from home while supported by another adult in the classroom and ESC staff substituting, etc. However, if, at the end of that list, we are still unable to safely support students in the classroom, we may have to announce that the classroom, grade level, or possibly the entire building will need to work from home. Teachers will be sharing plans for what an announced remote day schedule would be soon. That information would come to you via messenger. This would be similar to a "snow day", but students would still have class online. Please know that I will not make that choice lightly and that if it is announced, it is truly necessary.
Also, please note that there is a wind-chill cutoff for outdoor recess, but it can still be cold and students will be outside. Please make sure your student is dressed warmly. We do have coats for families who need them. Please let us know if we can help!
Sincerely,
Ms. Renk
