to ride the school bus driver on the bus will contact the parent immediately if they have your telephone contact information and we're going to try to make sure that if a child is not feeling well that we don't bring them to school however in the advancement we're not able make contact with the parents then we will bring the child to school and then they will be taken to a screening area and their parent will be contacted from the school if they are arriving as a parent has are filled out an attestation slip of paper and basically and just as dumb says that my child is free of symptoms and you reported a picture or your child and we are screening them through the backs of the the building if they've arrived defenses are marked with 6-foot social distancing and we have a green line at Green Gator line and then we have a Starline if station slip hasn't been filled out completely because we are required to the health department to contact to 4th grade and 3rd any questions that might have been miss in answering that has station for upon arrival is a staggered arrival to Guess Elementary students will off of the buses that come into the building on their way in the building than gel into the building they have an opportunity to grab a pictograph fish fingers through the building in a pot rotation to the classroom and then they're in their classroom from the time they arrive at school they receive instruction and and then they go to Risa they have a laxatives and have a specialist that comes and either takes them to pee outside or serves music instruction in the classroom they have another recess at 1 and the recent at lunch and then they have lunch in the classroom and they're going to be spots the protocols to clean up there and then they're going to learnt learned so much information at throughout the day and then we have started departures as well back onto the bus they are walking or they're being dropped off at school Mr Bardwell has been working hard on identifying are 6-foot social distance markings out in front of the building we have really amazing green and gold Gators coming up the sidewalk and then you will also be screened by staff members there station is in the building in addition we're we are prepared to we've been working very hard to put in place different protocols for our resources for example we are required to have our students play Alice socially Just Dance by 60 strings that time they'll put their mouths on their way on your way to work out all the find details to make sure that your child is safe that they have a positive experience and that we we try to engage and have as much fun as possible when the constraints that the health department send I've had a hundred and fifty-seven responses to the survey on our learning platform and has six students report that they'll be receiving instruction remotely that remote learning it will look different when we come back face-to-face supported by Style Pizza further discuss with our staff what that's going to work like and so we can hang out those tickets 10 days unless I get it and again our staff and myself were so excited to move to a face-to-face experience and I know that many our families are excited thank you Julie Anderson would you give a brief overview about the high school absolutely I want to welcome everybody tonight and thank you time to complete a survey that we gathered a lot of information you're still making telephone calls today but I started on this presentation and I I would like take a moment to recognize the Roni family and she take just a moment of silence today alright thank you very much I appreciate that and I know that the Ronnie family will as well so I'm not going to reiterate a lot of the different systems that are in play they said that they talked about at the Elementary Mr Elementary in the junior high and high school are you need to start building so I'm going to talk just a little bit about what is going to look like a student come to school starting on October 29th or on October 20th with our Junior High and then again on Tuesday November 3rd High School 20 letter in the mail as well as a couple access station forms I Julie talked about which will account for your assigned daughter's well-being in the morning to make sure verify they don't have the temperature or at the beginning of October 2018 High Street to the high school once again if they have gas station forms that are getting off the bus and remember we will be coming on on the Tuesday Thursday and Wednesday Friday schedule and they will come in the main door if they haven't test station Health form in car will still be doing a visual check on the student to make sure that they didn't become it all in between their bus ride make sure that we can ensure students and staff safety student doesn't have a car they were dropped off by a parent was just forgotten except a different scenarios doorway over by the gymnasium will answer their where we will enter enter the giveaway will take your temperature last them some questions to verify their  you are outside in back in the main entryway or maybe more questions would be asked questions about their their health or we need to verify with parents any other questions so what's what students of RS school what are the things that we're asking is that if you're driving your kids that you don't drop them off early at the beginning of this process because we we don't really have a place to house students that would be stay because once they check into the building they will be either meeting with the superintendent it would be a grab and stay. Class or they'll be wearing a mask and keeping social distance from one another and so please use common sense when it comes to drop in your students off in the morning that they will be they will be dropped off at transition Dan are so that they're not all come in at once to try to keep that as safe as possible as well so during. They'll go to the first day of class but after that to wash their hands go to their second. In the Evans in RNR I always is play going to be down in One Direction and then out the door that goes to the gymnasium at which time it will go to the other classes for second. 6. One of the complications and up near one of the systems that we we found out that we couldn't insure us student safety ones first. Was over so we order over 10,000 racing are used for concert that can be cut off and thrown away different colors for different days we can utilize those students have verified it coming to the building class after first. Ashley first. So any. They didn't have their brain for verification to that class because the main entryway down to the office and make sure the baby shocked into the office so we're putting systems in place to ensure your son and daughter we want students to be in our building we miss them we know that that that is on campus and again like Julie stated if you have questions regarding the systems that we have in place questions please don't hesitate to call or two to stop by the office if you're dropping a student off at the office so I can't stress enough in our staff ask us a stress test as well it's in everybody's best interest that means if they're showing any signs or symptoms related systems please keep the room until you can verify US specially if they have the temperature of any of any way shape or form so again thank you last but not least masks are getting use to it so we want to make sure that you're you know about this ahead of time for your teenagers or pre-order some masks variety will provide so we want to make sure that you know that you're finding some that are our space that are washable cover as you can see they come all the way down to the high city because that's a sociable for all all students as well that's just one thing we're stressing and we're just the fact that we are looking forward to a little more normalcy and we again we miss you and miss our systems and we're really hoping regular activities are going to be a go this winter because we know how students in our community submissive girl would you like me to update any of our Courtside family any changes that are happening at 4 tonight help or support or things like that please reach out to your teacher and schedule an appointment for will look at 4 probably next month in live with chickens in the high school so that will be coming right now just reach out with your teachers for whatever support we can provide schedule appointments we have so many people in the building at once so now we're going to open it up to questions and we'll do our best to answer them as if we aren't I want to read any of the questions I would say that is our intent siblings gone the same day we're trying to group it's and it's convenient to families however we have heard that there are some families that lots of kids that would like to Spanish. contact your building principal Nations can be a jet ski. siblings together on the same day student has only one symptom on the list do I need to stay home for 10 days or get a test so if if the if they have a runny nose right and you knew it was because they were allergic to cats and they have been mauled by the are the neighbor's cat then then you would have a reason he would be able to have a conversation with the nurse of in regards to what that run runny nose was about if you had a runny nose that was dreaming come get the mail and you had no idea where it came from on the side of caution and that you reach out to our nurse and have a conversation and then we make that decision together as a team send it. Send in the expectation would be that there be a transition during that waiting. Whatever it might be too does Florida still have an opportunity to learn about just being a different modality the everyday and worsening Home in the letters a couple of them but we've printed up pads of paper for repair to fill out inside because we have a chance we have to bring our staff everyday that's all the questions I have a question please type in into the human nature High School can parents decide if they want to continue remote cars that was one of the questions it was on the survey and we have about I would say we will have close to a thousand that have identified that they would like to remain in a remote learning I will be asking the each one of those parents meet with me individually via probably some sort of a phone conversation or in person we can talk about why the decisions made make sure that there's some questions that I can answer answer is yes that is an option looks exactly the same as a other students but we will make arrangements for 80 synchronous learning to take place can you go into more detail of how hand-washing between High School classes yes that's a great question of we are in the process of putting up stations for alcohol Walmart alcohol Kaiser that is on exit one of the teachers dismiss students in the classroom logical way so that the people closest Rose get in an accident one of the times you can social distancing wash your hands head down the hallway and go to their next. Class if they're in my classroom one and they're floating toy the gymnasium and they need to go to the bathroom to it's pretty simple to just use the restroom at that time it'll do a double dose cuz it wash your hands in the restroom as well we're just not everybody exit and wash their hands with soap and water possible I hope that answers the question if you get any more details let me know what happened to the teacher test positive so good International teachers help with student health department has what is it test positive person to the Elementary classroom if they are typically the students that are within bubble experiments to do tourist glass show audition for close contact is 17 minutes of sustained contactor in that day within that 60 bubble like conversation conversation West Covina social distancing or where do under the bus schedule we know that it's going to be impacted we're going to try to say is absolutely pick up time as possible states where are going to be asked to be seated every other seat on the bus families will be asked been together since they're not fixing up my glasses will have the presentation windows open what is the plan if there is a positive covid-19 tiled a night class he has to stay home for 10 days my student ends Tuesday Thursday the teacher teaches the same content on Alternate days how was just giving instruction remaining three days so the teachers also uploaded to our learning management system different asynchronous videos videos learning opportunities is similar to what we're currently doing with our remote learning SNL second in the high school middle school high school there is there's a couple different ways depending on the content of teacher example of teacher teaching child to speech calculus and a in another class it's not upper-level class may approach these those two classes of a little bit differently for her name is going to look remote learning option but there will be expectations or Monday and those off where they are at home learning it takes place in there will be lessons so it'll be for five full days of learning Will Library support still available after school hours of the student continues online learning when is the nearest yes when we know that there will be days that suits are not face-to-face with Basham blue and still need that internet connectivity or still working additional in order to Verizon situation we find ourselves in in this at the demand for the that equipment as a top strip the supply take me awhile to get that equipment cuz every school district in the state and we are we must crastination are asking for the same thing can I assume if my students is a Tuesday Thursday Wednesday Friday classes will always be to be able to do just trying to picture my son they will not be obvious do is Wednesday Friday classes not bbsm they might be recorded as a synchronous videos or some kind of learning opportunity or depending on what grade level is practicing spelling through the spelling city or he could be reading a story for wonders program doing a math activity but it is somewhat independent and driven by the Family schedule so it gives on autonomy and some flexibility there as well will high school students be using Walker not at this time we're going to recommend that backpacks to use that were still or still alive disgusting as a team how to do that effectively same question High School have you decided if the campus will be open or closed for lunch for 10 through 12 how is the current substitute roster I know some are older and might be cautious to return does the district need more substitutes and what are the requirements yes we repeated more substitutes prior to this crisis and we are doing our best to recruit unfortunately question most of our steps are retired teachers some of them are we arguing raining for our son contacting Albert current substitute on a roster and asking if they are interested in you so praying for them is it the 12th of October to have a minimum of a bachelor's degree teaching assistant getting emergency certification the rules that govern us is that we we use stuff that are not emergency what's that as an emergency certification why do classes resume on non in flat my students with their teachers Listen lyrics so yes it is possible that in some class I'm with some teachers they will choose to be lies via Zoo so that students at home on that Tuesday cancer lesson that's taking place within the classroom it's also very possible that that's not going to be feasible for some teachers that's a some teachers will not have that off they will be learning via either recorded meetings or tree created lessons that are are distributed beef you know the day before remote learning class that will take place in in Lake Julie like Julie stated that can take several different forms so yes it is possible in some circumstances no not require just to reiterate that our teachers will not be synced students on Mondays in this hybrid model and Mondays lessons for students that are on those off days as well as providing time for office hours for students to call in teachers or questions are guidance will there still be free lunches for Altra so that the available our staff to produce lunch has the same deep focus once we get into the pool will not deliver mail to the remote sites like is there a possibility that if a family which is to continue to give the mail to contact our food service contact the district office or I would say yeah because about the waiver that is provided Us by the federal government or any children we just have to go about it and we will not be able to deliver delivery ice want to clarify butter going to be very busy then that is in consultation with the district is that a possibility it's always been a possibility when we have one and I have to be in a district that didn't shut down so where are we will we be informed only if you determined that would be Twins game would be a conversation with the mission to ensuring that our kids ensure their safety is fart right to privacy of medical information is they are not identified who's cases are students are registered in a fight with a pet deposit cases their  number students and in quarantine absolutely if there was a determination since we're at painting contractors birth videos Celeste teacher time if our students return to date in class learning in reference to live class question on if they're not at school are they receiving what's written said so last teacher time if our students today is flat I personally I believe that they're out construction and there be an incredible amount of learning that takes place during that day and then the student is taking practice at home the learning nest when they wrap and they also have the reference of the videos that the teacher has put on line or the instruction that has been provided and then they're receiving an additional day full day of instruction and then and then let out again to to work independently and watch it has a green Forester learning face to face sorry I did you want to respond to that as well I just saw somebody popped it to the Ender would like to answer this question if I don't know what that is send a typing an answer I think the way that I look at it I understand your question and possibly your concern I guess the way I'd like to look at it right now is that we know that wants once into the building live witness the attendance rate is going in and the engagement rate is is going to go up it's going to increase and light chili alluded to then the students work is it going to work to practice and deepen at home or perhaps maybe looking you know some new information bring that new information back the next day 2 to help clarify from the teacher so there's a lot of different ways that we can we can look at that learning that takes place but I can't help but think that the quality of the education is going to go up because 50 / send it the time students will be in our building so be able to engage with other students and they'll be face-to-face with their teacher so on one hand yes you're correct on the other hand, I bet you look at the statistics on attendance and engagement so there's a couple of other questions this clarification on the days that kids are not on schedule schedule spread out another person will teachers be like Samuel Samuel go see some of these questions better than actual teachers hosting Zoom class just curious if the teachers in person and online Federal districts have went to a model where they're having their their teachers of teaspoons 5 days a week and they're taking some of their existing staff and signing some that it does existing staff we went out to the different model adopted the model of State on campus and having one day of doing 4 days a week Monday. teachers to pray for those days. The sounds like it will be time-consuming how our time's going to be how are the times going to be altered the question will there be flexible students first quarter grades and struggles getting assignments. So what is Larry Sinclair does directions from the state regarding distance learning and that was to be graded since we're in a warehouse to be place in their classrooms Milling at that man you know whether or not they had great internet access moderate internet access or no internet access home as a requirement Define ways for those students to be engaged and I believe that we did so and so we are moving forward with creating those different climates in different assessments however I would like to think that yes our staff is professional they'll understand some of the students take all of that into consideration as they always do however there will be no there will be grades that will be completed for the quarter and then again for the semester and remember at the high school level of quarter grade is simply just a grade check it really doesn't mean anything so we'll be depending upon how that teacher combine the first quarter grades with their second quarter grades to make up their full semester that goes on your transcript High School transcript I think a lot of the staff as well left open you know that they stink cancer some of the hardships of our students and in being able to get online and in this transition timelines open we just had a discussion about it today for greater greater abilities to work at different times I've seen gjb2 been stressed out all the way to has one teacher talked about today some some teachers have left their few days open until the following week so that if somebody was burning they can work on those assignments at home turn Den on the Monday still receiving full credit so I think the teachers are really working with the students trying to figure out the best way to be able to set their they're learning and their engagement I said thank you for the great the high school level 2 days the teacher will teach the same content on the other day and the teacher is expected to record three days of learning on Mondays again again that that is going to be dependent upon that the teacher and the continent that they're teaching and how they are a toddler putting their class together the remote learning classes what is FERPA what is a federal lawsuit where to buy probably familiar with with the medical profession in the tub trying to see people records privacy app call me on that but I believe that's what it stands for just like and that governs our students as well as HIPAA I will attend in speech on days when students are I'm on days that they're not learning at school they are communicating with their their teacher through the learning management platform their stomach a opportunity for a picture of we are communicating with our families to make sure that works here and and we have some kind of documentation so they're they're engaging in the learning platform of the contact is conversation with teacher the same as the one we were remote currently right so it's it's the same it strategies what will recess look like for the elementary school what we did was on the primary the intermediate side we have divided the playground into six sections and we will have rotation so a class for the week will be in a session on the play and they will be provided equipment that they can play with during the time of their outside and then the following week they'll be rotated to a ranch Play Opera they'll have their mouth off it was a mess as well their mouths will be attached to their lanyard play that they do outside is is socially just and so we have the playground playground sectioned-off accordingly and we're brainstorming games that we can play litter that are fun and some I'm excited about being outside right now everyday is a nice day out it's raining so in addition to that quadrant Zone rotation has an an adult support staff member out there managing and supporting so what is the grading policy at the high school is in first quarter gray Pastor total race no they can have runny and they can have running grades as well for a course yes it does happen at the middle of the semester sometimes at the beginning of the year they might be working on assignments next semester or second quarter, a larger project culminating project presentation in a very different category burning up the first quarter was so depends on the class it depends on the makeup of the class it happens at the halfway mark but it's not necessarily always point five or average of those two quarters but every recess is outside for elementary outside in rain and then we would have inside recess yeah that's that's how we have always been a recess or his below zero degrees so actually is 10 degrees below zero no 10 degrees it is 10 degrees outside then we also keep students yes outside following are kids staying with just three classes a day or they going back to six classes a day they had a question is are they considered the same block schedule equally when they are at home on them it's learning. They are six. they would follow their current schedule and that's a great question I don't have an answer for that right now outer questions again I want to get home to their own family so thank you very much for joining us tonight this has been a great question that sometimes we know no the question Center families Have and Have you seen your question to give us a chance. We are all very excited connecting back with her kids and getting school started remind you all to continue to practice for the spread of social hygiene issues of hand-washing mask-wearing tomorrow do that the closer we get to fully reopening our school so appreciate all your work that area thank you
