Week Ahead: May 4-8

It’s happening! Because of our dedication and hard work, we will be opening the campus to students starting on Monday. It was incredible to see everyone pitch in on Wednesday to make sure we were ready for the inspection. It certainly took the village for us to get ready for the children. And what an auspicious day to welcome students back to campus. May the 4th be with us!!!

With MS students set to arrive on Friday, we have more details to work out this week. To that end, I have set 3 divisional meetings at 11:30-12:15 each day. I know that for some, these times will conflict with Google Meets you have set up this week. We will catch you up as needed.

Focus this Week:  MS Return to Physical School Plans. This week is all about getting ready for Friday (and the days after that). Here is the current list of things we will be working on:

  • Preparing rooms: layouts, cleaning supplies, hand sanitizers, in/out signs
  • Preparing study hall locations for students who have had course adjustments
  • Creating Friday’s schedule and training plan
  • Developing Advisory and tutorial plans
  • Setting passing time routines / procedures
  • Clarifying outside “recess” rules
  • Creating videos for students (hoping to send 1 out each day to help prep them for what they will experience)
  • Creating a plan to include ASA-like experiences into our day

Quarter 4 Check In Documents:

No student survey from last week. BUT on Week 4, we asked students what they would like to have happen when they returned to physical school. Check out what they said:
