10 Questions Teachers Should Ask to Ensure Student Security and Wellness During COVID-19
Prior to the quarantine, our students walked through our front doors each day to receive the most critical aspect of our education system, a wellness check. Is the child hungry? Is the child well-rested? Does the child seem emotionally healthy? Is the child injured? Neglected? and the list goes on. Nothing is more important than the well-being of our students. We need to continue to ensure that students are taken care of physically and emotionally. Continue to check-in and ask the following questions to students and parents.
2. Do you need any supplies or groceries?
3. Do you have internet access?
4. Was your family accessing meals while we were in school?
5. Will you want to access them now when the school is closed?
6. Can you come to your campus to pick up meals curbside?
7. Do you have any medications you need to pick up from the nurse’s office?
8. Will your student be able to complete online assignments with their school-issued technology?
9. Do you need another way to access the content?
10. Are you receiving district emails and phone calls?
