“The Best in the U.S.A”
We have a full week of Teacher Professional Development planned! We are establishing high expectations and strong systems to ensure that all of our students receive the level of instruction that they deserve. Our counselor, Ms. Johnson has ensured that all the students’ schedules are available in PowerSchool. Students will begin each day by logging in to a Zoom session to attend Lyceum. I will lead Lyceum with the students from 9th - 12th grade and Ms. Garrett will lead Lyceum for students from 6th - 8th grade. After Lyceum, the students will virtually attend each of their classes. The students will not have to wear their uniforms, but they will have to wear a shirt with a collar for the virtual classes.
Teachers will only use Zoom for video conferencing. PowerSchool will be the only platform used for remote learning. We hope that this limits confusion for students and parents. We have established an iBOMLA help desk for students and parents who have technical issues. The help desk can be accessed by calling 972-749-2100 or by using this link: http://tiny.cc/iBOMLAHelpDesk.
We have a Virtual Meet the Teacher Night planned for Thursday September 3rd, from 1:00 pm - 4:30 pm. Each teacher will host several sessions where they present an overview of the classes they will teach. The parents will also have an opportunity to ask questions.
We will contact parents to schedule appointments to distribute Chromebooks and Hotspots. We will begin the distribution this Wednesday, September 2nd. If you need a Hotspot, you can request one using this link: https://records.dallasisd.org/Forms/HotSpotRequestLaserfiche?_ga=2.186497824.803184489.1598879662-130729165.1566232695
Thank you again for your flexibility and patience. Please contact me and let me know if we are not meeting any of your expectations.
Sincerely,
