We will have two more planning days on May 13 and May 27. We also recently found out that the state will count these days towards CPDUs. The district is working on documentation but teachers can receive up to 25 hours (5 days @ 5 hours each).
We will not have Instructional Support Meetings on May 13 for teachers that are packing. We will conclude the year with our last ISM on May 27. The meeting schedule and links are as follows for May 27. The links can also be found on the calendar on the Remote Learning Site (blue button at top of the newsletter will take you to the site).

Packing Up/Closing Up Rooms Sign up
Thank you to everyone that has signed up for packing up their classrooms. However, I noticed a few conflicts that need to be addressed. Every person in the building needs to be accounted for with a max of 10 people at a time. There are a few slots that have Teacher +1. The +1 needs to be accounted for on an individual line. I have fixed most of the conflicts but a few still remain and need to be adjusted. Please take a look at the schedule and any name that is bolded and in red need to be adjusted.
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 8-12 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 clarification.
Packing Classrooms Details
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.
I was able to confirm that boxes have been delivered, and many have already been assembled for you. There will be several tape guns that will also be available.
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 the number of boxes. I will supply pre-printed 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 level 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 provided.
- 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.
- I was told that some classrooms could be painted over the summer. Therefore all posters will need to be taken off of the walls.
- ***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.
- The 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.
