spread out through there were several different reasons that that decision was made when you think it's in your best interest I guess some time for them to reflect on the lessons of work on your lessons and also make connections students will be using a platform that loud and clear last year there's way too many ways to connect with the teacher and it's confusing and one teacher so we heard that we made it just meant we are using one platform this year which we will be beseeching as a parent and you are student in the first week of school how to access that platform and so we're hoping

Family Court find accents for every student and to maintain a community pretty exciting I'm excited turn down plastic on the wall as the governor guidelines through this situation don't have a daily requirement weekly contact must be made between every student for elementary students the majority of our materials are delivered through textbook or workbook X the parrot serves as the primary instructor and then works with our teachers as a resource to monitor Progress Center questions schedule help choose the curriculum initially and that's all done through a student learning that happens every year at the beginning of the year Virginia High School we also have those same text with me or the other or combination of things some parents still working old school type setting and deliver instruction with their students many of them were more independently what's the junior high high school level through the online courses how to flexibility weather you can look at the whale song which works Kitchen Chicken 3:30 so that's another option for those registered work with the teacher to create a cig learning plan and then every week there is a way to contact picture of August once a week things are going well do you have a question directions to The District she will get some information on our specifications we know that it's hard and it was all the other responsibilities to the family if your child has a special needs identified and so our main focus is that we want to work with you as a team and develop some strategies that are going to work for your family so is in that person from school with words where can I get a special education teacher to work with your family and develop the best plan for you he will be bringing in some students the state is allowed two families for their child and spending more than 50% of their day normal teaching a special education we'll be offering that it's pretty small again and if you have any questions at all you should contact your teacher or you can call me and I'll be at Gaston thank you Sarah so I'm going to move on now to some questions about the Olympics when will read the question and Amsterdam Falafel trying to capture that question and answer that we can observe how many hours of live on Minecraft High School each day there will be three hours scheduled for online live meetings or classes with your teacher per day that doesn't necessarily mean that there might not be more worse during that particular day say for example Tuesday somewhere maybe we're meeting with three of your teachers lie in a live session but you might have homework as well for a project if you're working throughout the day three flasks next question is how are you preparing your teachers to be successful in delivering the truth do you want to take that away can I have September time in the morning to provide support and training for all of our staff about what they need in order to support the upload videos to MP4 resources myself I know that mr. Anderson Inn and stay green resources we recognize that there are element that needs to be are really confident and comfortable with using canva switches are learning platform already they're comfortable uploading videos audible with you no working either with Office 365 teams or even with Zoo however there's going to be some staff members that are going to need some extra support is so we have I'm in denial problem-solve from the different skill-sets the teachers going to need to have and we are providing to professional development actually yesterday today tomorrow 4 somewhere and then they'll be time integrated it's those days for technology as the Monday Monday morning in our yearly schedule what's the next question is when will the motels in surveys Blackberry devices speed limit in KCMO classroom meeting will be the rest in the Aspire school which will not be everybody's going to be expected to start right off the bat expectation is that that first week of school starting September one on boarding style conferences system Technology support schedules don't allow for overlapping I guess I wanted to make sure that the same time we've also with the 31 families that we have scheduled to have multiple children in their home technology family and then as more technology piece of equipment to turn brown as a speaker oh that you would watch over and over for a lesson and so I think we're getting close with our schedule so the next question is what why video platform Jenkins GMC High School both platforms is there really there's some advantages and disadvantages to both and so it'll be user choice on that which which which one did they choose videos whatever video that platform is being used to develop the video access will still be to Kansas and click on that it doesn't matter what let me clarify that I'm still standing in the Office 365 access to teams but I think that's a great carryover tube in a what what will teachers be using for asynchronous videos are videos that they recorded themselves that is not live with the class and there are a few choice lumos one of you may have seen her in a couple of the videos and that is one of the the recorded videos and he's absolutely correct they will easily be up to our our platform could access up the video okay so I'll come for the Elementary School is right processes is there a way so that work being provided to students are required to answer to yourself can provide the support depending on what it is that is 50 hot reported within so yes during the process being used to people the answers to the post office. communication that you need for information of a teacher how did they figure that out Robert teacher office hours how do you spell is it possible for teachers to email using their Office 365 email rather than Skyward yes yes understand the Pride Rock advisory teacher is a single point of contact that are students parents still invited to file taxes if I understand correctly are they gone do that is not currently looking at what starts as long as we have a meeting to look at some of the options able to provide state is also got some fun to the video least we don't know how to access to the yet that they're looked yet internet service Samurai Fort Worth. don't have the answers on that yet we are providing internet the same week because of small numbers in the evening Section 8 transmission that we can bring into a large Staffing are taking kids in and out bus light restaurant Starbucks Starbucks organic bison and they check you in at 1 because it's not fair that we have just the same 755 or even more simple because it's just not where you live so do you we have David shows what percentage of the Sinestro have reliable internet transom, question what is he doesn't have an estimate at one point was at least we're going to get more data coronavirus on boarding houses in default information that were say sharing with the 1650 discount for trying to get that spread out because there information from we all know that's not true best wrestlers ever turn on the computer this year a little younger children at work. work materials and so manipulative who sells to learning then that's how we're going to do what we were talking today at first and second grade teachers were in the building and we were taught about time because our goal is to transition to a face to face engagement and so I certainly would want to give you the materials for the whole year if if we don't need to write a check to make sure that you have what you need your students homework next question are devices being supplied the answer is yes we are we have significant order laptops actually 300 the district you thought we were ahead of the game a little bit. Started earlier so don't devices around a corner and we are taking some of that are schools in Windows laptops on sale check me out a specific device and expectation is that the device Chevy SS vs next question and engage the child the class is concerned with a platform just be able to engage in lessons strategy protest infinite training as well as being able to virtually speaker and monitor work with other students person to person on train I would like to chat with teachers throughout the day via team depression summer single have office hours to do that teachers will have periods of time where they're providing instruction and sink conversation with car too much like being in a classroom by the time the teacher will be presenting information on what time kids will be working at 5 I probably will not go outside during that she responds to deliver to schedule mine is maybe a few seniors will be taking 6 class three of which will be our loan classes it will be live for their structure that leaves three classes where the teacher will have periods where there might be small group email face-to-face interactions with that teacher three Spirits as a teacher I'm life first then during those other three. I would be accessible to answer questions but similar to the similar to when you have a 6. Day at school sometimes those questions might not be the beginning of the next day just it just depends on on the activities at that particular teacher on that particular day has scheduled for did you have a prep. They have as well. Time so the next question is will we know our teacher for the school year starts in their children getting to get a list of school supplies yes yes Gangnam Style as work calling appointment for the weekend of the 1st Shannon and the 4th of September at work the gym for your onboarding family connection and there will be materials there as there's something special family Wiki teaching about that impact of the pandemic and one of the last things families would want to probably do is go to find a big list of school supplies speaking as a parent Myself by material things questionnaire teacher salary getting to that for the Seesaw and connect that way I think that doesn't ring a bring up a really good point obviously we were talking to people that care about what's going on and we appreciate that in your connectivity with us but the one thing that we we struggle with that times just is having accurate email information that parents when they're filling out their Skyward data so just a reminder that it is if it's really really important that you Skyward data during student registration time sweet and thoroughly as you possibly can a really important. And that is what generates emails A2 based on the lack of either phone numbers or email so thank you for bringing that up the next question it would not be options for for folks to come in in France but I think there's always options if there's a need it's easier for my child to access to information reading it on cheaper than radio. when can 6th grade students parents expect a phone call to figure out next steps it's supposed to be called 60 people and we called 60 people so far and we're just continue to work for a list cycling every family on our star roster by Friday and will have scheduled your teacher teacher quest for the content areas you all the way and I apologize if I am wearing a Ministry next question for parents who work full-time during school hours is there a modified skin so we can use such as lessons in the evening discount ordering working school out as far as we have been given some flexibility directions check's in the beginning of a car sometime during that day because they watched video later or they logged into canvas system is counted as well and the next one is a housekeeping piece and we know we have a lot of work still do on it it's been up there it's been updated specials on. what are the consequences to students attend life processes famous art online how to keep a puppy from greater we want our kids to do their best to know that schedules work for kids schedules work for all of us if we can get some on that schedule the reality is that you have isn't sufficient right so I have HughesNet it's just throw it out there for everyone is limited and tricky with how can you train I can empathize if it's difficult and so that is why we spell said asynchronous videos the videos that you can watch of the teacher a math lesson in language arts and it's recorded and then it's downloaded and figure out how to starter in your car is those kind of videos they're learning video for the family that Monday Wednesday live stream the cafe or things loosen up a little bit connection with teachers so it isn't all about live streaming instruction it's is great if we can access it understand that not everyone is able to at this time mr. Johnson unmute yourself and tell me if you can hear your better now Pinterest speak for the speakers on their side everybody that's listening the question to the answer or I guess we can also do let's move on how are you supporting teachers who have tried to contact students families but are not successful and Elementary we are going to do home visit We are family is worth where they are rest area in the Tri-Cities are they just went to other locations and some mail that information to them that was a challenge right this time around it it will look different and it's it's working on with family and if it's there then we're going out to eat so I guess what answers working to become and we're going to pester people because it was finals that we connect with our family center kids next question if a family works better with packets or there was an option for a family rather than live video we're always going to look at auction next question how are you evaluating teachers this year are you continue to use a traditional and how are you playing right now in Apple Valley can I answer that I bet they've modified what criteria comprehensive or would be on and what criteria a focus feature would be on as well as principal plan on rolling. Formation out the most important concepts are destruction and legs are still so it's going to be very flexible next question what will happen on a day when it's pictures of secrets and lies absent teachers that is more that is a very good question of great trying to figure that out one of the opportunities with the remote learning yourself famous that are sick and do not want to share their sickness with other people can still surprise you work remotely hopefully that becomes an option for when staff are sick and cannot work we're going to have to figure out a substitute for that question for mrs. Dale with Quartzsite learning classes that are with outside contractor teachers like music lessons available on sight if we can't have the next question is how was school pictures be handled probably not a priority for us right now and hopefully we're back in person learning that would be enough Cypresswood pictures do we have a time frame for lunches and is it going to be off at 3:08 issue with lunches is that last spring and summer we were granted a waiver from Department hair culture that provides for reimbursement deals for the federal government be able to provide meals without knowing that is not the case for starting this we have to account for so students who are pretty much useless sensory reduced price superintendent working with a group here in town subsidized and they charity subsidize the difference the price for a reduced itself pay for a meal find furniture license when looking at serving electric during the closer 11212 Elementary and 11th set reminder 11:15 to 12:30 okay next question are you working if your plants children Providence Hospital yes that at the meeting. That conversation in the family has that then we talked about that at that meeting and then we'll be aware of it okay what's for breakfast we're looking at the same model we did the summer looking at what time is second lunches speed package together for looking at doing breakfast mobile as well answer the question. forever changing in as soon as the recommendation I think everyone can we show your breasts information that OSB highest cancer set face shield rather than Siri how to reduce the transmission and now we're all speakers and working at 3 SPI said something different so we're going to have to work with this unfortunately the reality of the transmission of covid-19 and we were so hopeful and we were Elementary primary classrooms from having stabbing deaths compared the purpose of meeting Department of Health and ospi we push back without question Western way to minimize that distance so we can get everybody in the same classroom and the answer came back no sew ins back here but we could make that work at the high school a b schedule August a letter that was not acceptable strong stronger on Dish refer to remote only planning to start the school year we further got lines the following week from are alive. there is some risk if we were to move forward against the recommendation so therefore change of plans last last night and that's when The Family Table long story but we're continuing to do our Best Buy question are we doing lunch deliveries the state allowed us to do lunch deliveries and how much time has an emergency last spring on a transportation funding we are not able to be there this year will there be school bus service for internet cafe times are other in person soon activities at the middle and high school there we're not looking at right now if this continues well into the year we're certainly open to the looking at that see if that there is a viable option but not at this time are there any childcare to the school district for healthcare workers at a meeting today or yesterday and  today Apartments officials we were talking about the need for childcare in our communities how to prime this working on a further guidelines for for child care one of the options that people looking at the two ways that families can work together and cause questions to maintain a small groups to help support each other in chess wake me up at 8 or 8 state to purchase a specifically. nor do they believe the schools have the resources we went to 34 questions so I don't know if you're able to type into the question-and-answer what your question is are you still have we want to thank all of you oh here's one more question Western guideline from the DMV in Tri-County date for a candidate would be able to start some face-to-face contact for example in the face in greater or equal to 75 in a 14-day. let me try my best to summarize. Does Kaiser perform a county health facts about today was they want to see a downward Trend and Stallone got 75 cases. some flexibility and how we do that many districts are looking at looking at their elementary students first and then and then decided fresh out of our plan bringing the time schedule and Craig County that says start with e your youngest children because there is some evidence that our youngest children S430 the disease as much as older children play school and all that the traffic near me are there any schools in Stephens County going to a Target Model I'm not sure answer that Sanford and Son Springdale AR Perry County what's a very small distances looking at tell me about bringing in 5 to 7:20 there is some flexibility there repeat the last question 25 years of Kendall or will a laptop or computer I got a Kindle with anybody Kindle Fire similar to which should be a web-based access where is supported 95 the kennel I want to thank all of you for joining at and great questions appreciate the Frank conversation we are able to appreciate all the presidents are carbs good as challenging because Summertime with school really mostly shut down teachers are out deserving and then trying to get your input one more question so I'm assuming classes like let me get back to you in person Morning Edition we have horses that simply cannot be done we do have a music schedule. music class schedule and now that we know that we are doing that too just as learning will be meeting with the new teacher and consultation with our former teacher has taken a Year's leave of absence in into Philippine something that can be done at home I'm not really sure it might be individualized or that particular individual student it might be senator now music history something like that so that that one is to be the true great question most of our other courses that will be will be available including PE you know when to nursing students will be able to do are gorillas by Friday by Friday good night
