3 Top Priorities for This Week
- March 30 – April 3 Empowered Learning at Home Plans (continuity of work & focus)
- Helping Families with MySpringISD Logins
- PLC: Planning for the Needs of Special Populations
Priority #1- Empowered Learning Plans
Refer parents to https://www.springisd.org/athome for the Empowered Learning at Home resources. If parents do not have access at home, please encourage them to swing by one of the campuses serving food between the hours of 8-11 on Monday or Tuesday this week. Anderson Elementary and Smith Elementary are the closet to JES.
Priority # 2- Assist Families with MySpringISD Logins
As we begin to transition from learning opportunities to a remote instructional model students will need to access various resources housed in MySpringISD. This week, our task is to reach out again to parents and students to ensure that they have their login info to login successfully!
A students MySpringISD Login is as follows :
- It is the child's last name initial first name initial and student id # (lunch #)
- Password is their birthday yyyymmdd
Parents can also call the helpline at 281-891-6249 from 8:00-4:00 pm.
Priority #3- Planning for the Needs of Special Populations
Teachers we need to prepare for the next phase. This week we ask that during PLC as we look at the activities for this week that we cross reference our student accommodations and modifications. Below is a a very simple example of how to accommodate.
NOTE : We are only planning for these accommodations. We are NOT contacting parents regarding these just yet.
We will hold PLCs on Tuesday for Gen Ed teachers to collaborate with 504, RtI, SPED and EL contacts/case managers on how to plan for adjustments.
