Hope you are taking a moment to enjoy all of your blessings this Fall Break!
PACE Character Trait for October: Integrity
Virtual to Face-to-Face Update
We sent out a parent survey to determine future virtual plans since we are approaching the end of the trimester. We have approximately 70 students who are coming back to learn face-to-face. This has caused us to adapt and make some quick decisions to accommodate our students, families, and teachers. As a result, please look for the following changes. We will answer any questions, go over a revised Master Schedule (which will be effective, Monday, October 19th), etc. in our Wednesday collaboration meetings.
- Kindergarten - Buffy Bland will continue to be the teacher for all virtual Kindergarten students. (Janet Benson was teaching several of these students.)
- 1st Grade - Kelli Tweed will move from virtual teaching to face-to-face beginning Monday, October 19th. She will move into the North Collaboration Room and co-teach with Kimberly McGinnis (Debbie Serena in Kimberly's absence). We were originally going to use this space for 4th grade, but we have enough students coming back for a completely separate class. Katherine Walls will be the virtual teacher for all 1st Grade virtual students.
- 2nd Grade - Dominique Parker will move from virtual to face-to-face teaching effective Wednesday, October 14. She will move into the South Gathering Space, along with Kathi Wilks, and they will co-teach their combined classes for now. Janet Benson will teach most of the remaining 2nd grade virtual students.
- 3rd Grade - Amy Kuhn will move from virtual to face-to-face teaching effective Monday, October 19th. She will be in her classroom in the South Building. She will continue to help create lessons for virtual until she has a full class. Rachelle Taylor will teach the remaining 3rd grade virtual students.
- 4th Grade - Mica Nichols will begin teaching 4th grade face-to-face beginning Wednesday, October 14. She will also keep her 4th grade virtual students for now. Rachelle Taylor will help with some of the lesson creation.
- 5th Grade - Maddie Garrett and Susan Brandon will continue to teach all virtual 5th grade students and also teach a class of the 5th grade students planning to return to face-to-face. This will begin November 9th. They will be on the north side. They will work out a schedule where one is teaching face-to-face students for half of the day, while the other is teaching virtual during that time (and switch for the 2nd half of the day).
A special thank you to everyone for your understanding and flexibility as we continue to try and meet everyone's needs during this unpredictable time.
