Cardboard dividers are being used between students. How do you sanitize cardboard as it becomes soggy when wet. Wouldn't a plastic divider be better as you can sanitize it? Also a see through divider would promote the ability to socialize through the divider.

** update - I watched the video. Nothing about ASD instruction. The email just came out about Special Ed. There’s no plan here other than you will answer questions on Thursday? Can’t someone tell the parents what the plan is for these kids?

a) Is there any reference for general code of conduct/meeting etiquette that need to be adhered by all learners enrolled in VLA. Or is it up to the individual class teacher ?
b) Also is there any plan to ensure the same gets adopted by all learners/families in good faith so it doesn't impact the conduct of the live  sessions.
c) To that end, will PUSD/CVES stipulate parent supervision for certain grades during online classes to ensure the live sessions are maximally enriching with minimal/no distractions
*Thank you for the thoughtful question.  We will collaborate with our VLA teachers to establish norms around learning from home.

Great Questions.  They will be answered by reviewing this link https://www.powayusd.com/PUSD/media/Communications/2020/July-1-Elementary-Virtual-Sample-Schedule-Teacher-Communication.pdf AND the VLA pages in the PUSD Guidebook- pages 18-19.  If after reviewing, and still have questions, please reach out.
1. Will VLA option offer music, art, PE, science,etc to kids?

2. Would the VLA group of students be from same class/school? Hoping the teachers are from same school.

3. If on campus students have to go to virtual learning option of situation gets worse, will they be place in same group as VLA learning group?

4.  How frequently the kids will be assessed or given feedback in VLA option?

5. Why can't PUSD declare virtual learning till governor allows and then revisit the options again? Why should parents decide at this point when it is really hard to predict the situation?

6. I see an option #3 on pusd email that was sent. I am guessing, we get school material and a instructional guidance and we work with kids on that? Cves has that option?
YES, VLA students will be given the tangible materials materials.

7.  Would VLA students be given all school materials/ supplies? Books, worksheets, etc? YES.

When I reached out to Shelley in the spring during enrollment, she said it was unsure how many (if any) new families would get a spot at ESS due to the Covid restrictions (our daughter is supposed to start TK this year).  Due to this, we’ve elected to have our daughter stay at her preschool for TK. If ESS is able to accept more new students at the semester break, would we be able have her start mid-year?  Will we be able to stay on the ESS waitlist if she is not enrolled or will we need to wait until next year? Thank you!
*ESS and I are well aware of the ongoing need. I would recommend you reach out to the Director of ESS, Michele WilsonManos and stay connected with Mrs. Silva. We hope to have your TK learner be a coyote soon!

Hi Jill, just wondering what the difference would be between the VLA and in-person flexible online learning? If we chose on-campus and contingency plan is implemented, how will the online sessions be run? Will it basically be the same as the VLA, except run by the teacher or different somehow? Will that be determined by each teacher or a standard platform? Thank you!
**Hi there!  Please take a look at the PUSD Guidebook on pages 16-19.  It has lots of information regarding on campus and Virtual Learning.  Here is a great link to the VLA.  Regarding the contingency plan, take a peek at our CVES Reopening plan for further detail- Here is an overview of the schedule-Session One: 8:05-10:50 on campus/ 1-2 Hours Self-Paced Home Learning Session Two: 1-2 Hours Self- Paced HomeLearning/11:50-2:35 on campus
Lastly, we will work with Canvas, SeeSaw, FlipGrid, Google Classroom and many other great learning tools.

Some ESS families may choose Virtual Academy and still need to keep their ESS enrollment- either for pre/post VLA hour coverage or to ensure their spot is still their when returning to in-person.
