Cordelia Hills Staff Update
8/3/2020
Happy August
I am going to outline WHAT I know below but I am just being honest that there are many unanswered questions. I know our staff is strong, professional, and prepared to make the start of the year spectacular. I look forward to leading Cordelia Hills on your behalf.
What I Do Know!
Email Sandi Fallon if you'd like to arrange a time to pick up keys. Please text me anytime you plan on being on campus in the next two weeks.
Curriculum will be both digital and hard copies. This FSUSD Materials document outlines what curriculum will go home at the start of the year and what will be digital.
We will be able to provide additional materials to students. The goal would be to bag up materials (and curriculum) for pick-up by students on Day One and Day Two of school. I have emailed grade level leads and I know they are working with you on what this would look like.
Chromebook Distribution is still being hashed out. We expect devices for new students to go out with plenty of time before the 19th.
We have at least 49 students moving to Virtual Academy. That means enrollments, student lists, etc. WILL change. I am eager for you to meet and reach out to your students but just know it is likely to change a bit. You may consider reaching out as a grade level first. Don't worry if you have already reached out but just know changes are bound to happen.
Our first staff meeting will be held virtually on August 17th. I will likely arrange another voluntary meeting before that but I don't want to waste your time with meeting and not having all the answers.
