If we are going to call this Wellness and Work Wednesday, let's not forget the Wellness part. We don't necessarily want students working all day - we want to provide them with flexibility within the hours of the regular school day to meet their needs, including school work, CCC activities, support or activity groups, getting off screen and spending time with family members or being active, reading, etc   Promoting this kind of wellness will help our students, too.

How do we make sure that staff are reaching out to ELL students instead of waiting for kids to ask for help?

Staff can utilize additional prep time documenting parent phone calls made in On Track, including relevant details that may benefit staff members to know.

How do we make sure meetings and PD do not default to Wednesdays, taking time away from students?

Staff consistency will be key for student success & understanding of Wednesday. Do we post activities? Do we not? It should be consistent.

What about Wednesday PD? Will that be synchronous or independent moving forward?

# data[].attributes.body
Careful about how to message this-it is not a blanket, no class day, some teachers are holding small or whole group meetings. Staff needs to be aware that there may be some classes that continue to meet. teachers need to be clear with students they expectations for Wednesdays

# data[].attributes.body
Could we build in some time management or reflection pieces for students in the attendance form? Example -- if we have students fill it out at the end of the day, they could check boxes for which classes they completed independent work for

Can we offer students opportunities to try clubs, activities, student orgs etc. that allow for choice, community building and connection

What happens on Wednesday PD Days?  How is the time broken up on those days?

It is necessary to break up the time with a checklist for staff? Is a bullet point about PD Days enough? What is the communication to families?

# data[].attributes.body
Do we need to create time in the day for all teachers to be available for students that need help?  ie. All teachers are available from 10-11 and/or 1-2 or find a time during the day for each department. (Office hours)

Once a month, advisory teachers reach out to all families in their advisory (check in and grade checks) and then the other three weeks would be core teachers contacting families regarding concerns.

"...Special Education teachers may need to use a portion of the 155 minutes  during the flexible learning day for direct instruction to students depending on IEP requirements."

Does this mean that SPED teachers get less time overall? It appears that they are going to be more direct teaching.

# data[].attributes.body
On FAQ sheet it says that "teachers will take attendance at end of day based on student engagement with the activities" my question is "student engagement" defined? What level of participation counts as attending?

# data[].attributes.body
How do we convey to students that this is a day to work and get help?  We want to ensure that students know it is not a day off.

How do we create structure for students to plan and effectively use the day? Life Skill that needs to be developed

Language is confusing

Will this cause changes in advisory structure/schedule/purpose?

The small group work is very educator driven.  Is there a way to make it student driven as well?  ie.  All teachers are available from this time to this time is you/your student needs help. (Parent/Student perspective)

# data[].attributes.body
The slides say teachers will not take attendance (students do 1 Form) but the FAQ says teachers will take attendance at the end of the day

Would Wednesday's be the best day to scheduling college and career programming, CCC, GEAR UP and other community partners to engage with students - or does this interfere with minutes?

# data[].attributes.body
Are teachers supposed to assign work/small tasks or is this a work day? This needs to be explicit.

# data[].attributes.body
1 google doc for attendance frees teachers up to connect with students throughout the day.  Wondering if students might be less willing to check in because of it.

Where will the google form live?
