Important Updates

Teachers,

First, You are all doing a fabulous job!  The online lessons are beginning to come together and the ones we have seen so far look incredible!  I'm SO proud of our faculty and staff!

There have been a few questions circulating and the following will provide answers to those questions:

1) We now have guidelines informing us that we cannot ZOOM with a group of students, including whole class (just to say hello, etc).  There are too many security related issues with a live zoom when it comes to students.  You can ZOOM one-on-one with a student on their learning as long as a parent is present.  Remember, you can welcome students with your welcome video and/or post a welcome video on your Google Classroom.

2) The link to Classroom to Cloud will be sent out via mass notification to all parents/students on Friday.  (Teachers do not need to send this out.)

3) If a paraprofessional works with one of your student(s), please add her as a teacher on your Google Classroom.  Please coordinate with her as our paras are a vital resource to check in with the student(s) and help provide any remediation/support.

4) As of right now all Paine students have internet access (so no packets will be necessary due to this issue).  We are focusing on packets for our special education students initially.  After Monday, if someone requests a packet due to printer issues, etc. you will need to notify Lori Phillips and provide her with the information so it can be copied.  This must be turned in by Thursday of the week before scheduled deliver.  Packets will only be delivered every two weeks (beginning Monday) so materials must be prepared for a two-week period if a packet is necessary. 

5) Office Hours:  Office hours should be between 8:00 and 3:00, so please adjust if you have designated hours outside of that window.

6) Once we getting next week going, I will set up brief, weekly grade level Zoom Meetings so we can all collaborate, check-in, and support one another.

7) Please see information about the Monday morning parade in your email (and in the blog).  We hope you can join us!
