Special Education Updates (Updated 4/4/2020)
ARDs, Initial Referrals, and evaluations in progress will start up on April 6th. Meeting invitations will include a link to attend a Zoom Meeting.
All students who have an IEP, will receive individualized lesson plans to support their goals on Monday. Tracking teacher will be sending the plans directly to the parent/guardian.
Tracking teachers will email you with a password to access your child's program supports virtually.
If your tracking teacher is to become ill, the tracking teacher will notify you ASAP so that you know your child's virtual supports may not be available that day. While we hope for all staff to stay well, we know the inevitable will occur and staff could become ill. So this will be our plan should this occur.
Zoom Conferencing Guidelines (Updated 4/4/2020)
2. Students do NOT need Zoom accounts to attend the meeting.
3. Zoom Invitation Links will be sent to the parent's email address listed in eSchool.
4. Video Conferencing with your child's teacher should NOT be Photographed, screenshotted, or recorded.
5. All elementary aged children are required to have an adult in the room while the video conferencing is occuring.
6. Be mindful of your child's background. While it is exciting to be able to video conference with your child's teacher, we want to make sure we respect your family's privacy at all times of the work day.
All Zoom Meetings will be password protected. Your child's teacher will email your password to you. If you receive a special program support, that teacher will email you a seperate password for your child's individualized programs (i.e. Dyslexia, SRP, QUEST, Sped)
