FlipGrid Introductions
We are continuing to do FlipGrid Video introductions for families (just like we did last year). This received GREAT feedback and they are asking that we do this again.

Back to School Night Informational Video
As you know, we decided as a staff to combine Sneak Peek with Back to School Night. To this end, the BLT and PTA brainstormed how to make this an easy transition. We decided that in lieu of you all presenting to parents in person, each staff member would create a small handout with your contact information and a video (linked through a QR code). This video can be done collectively as a grade level/specialists team, or individually. The video should contain all the information that you would normally share at Back to School Night:
- Introduction of yourself
- School-to-home communication
- Class Website (if you have one)
- Remind (communication app)
- Emails through skyward
- Technology Information
- Daily Schedules
- Curriculum (basic information about what you will be learning and/or resources you will be using)
- BIST/PBIS
- Birthdays – no sweet treats (see parent letter attached)
We will also post your QR code that links to the video outside of each classroom. We decided providing information this way would be beneficial so we are respecting our families time and so our parents can view them as they are able to and/or refer back to them as needed. We will also be posting these videos on our school website.
The night of Sneak Peek will look the same as last year. Students and families can come in and meet you while dropping off their school supplies as well.
When you have them finished, please share your document with Collier so she can pull your video for our website and get your QR code printed for your door.
A HUGE Shout Out to Jade for making an example!
