Bearcat Brief
March 12, 2020
Notes from Niki
Just a few reminders based on recent events:
- Computer security is an always present issue. Please make sure you keep your passwords private, lock your computer when you leave the room (press ctrl+alt+ delete at the same time and then choose lock), and make sure your files are on Google Drive or One Drive, not network drives. Hackers are targeting small schools and businesses with ransom wear.
- COVID 19- Maranda sent you an email with our current information. You should all be thinking about what "Alternative Methods of Instruction" looks like for your class. It would be a great time to review for MAP testing if that applies to you or to brush up on fundamental skills.
- If we have notice that quarantine is imminent, we will send Chromebooks home with 5th-8th grade and plan to use Google Classroom to distribute work. There were a few families without the internet according to the survey, so as you put resources together if it is something that could be printed and given to them please make a copy. If we do not have notice that we will be shutting down (over a weekend...) we can still distribute work through google classroom, many will have access to devices at home. While considering those that do not have a device or do not complete work, we will allow time once we return to school to make up the work.
- For anything that needs to be sent on paper, I will work on sending that out during the quarantine. Please have a file folder marked ClassName AMI with master copies turned into the office on Monday or talk to me about what your plan is. You may also share it with me in a folder labeled the same way on Google Drive.
