Overall

Definite burnout from staff perspective; nurses have left and aspects all connect to COVID; constant training of new staff

All mandates still in place

Continued anxiety and social emotional issues to address

# data[].attributes.body
Middle School

Positive-- teachers have adjusted curriculum and supporting students in making up work; very accommodating
Advanced classes more challenging with teacher absence due to COVID
Absences cause higher levels of stress as the pace seems faster now that instruction is in-person
Higher anxiety from having more substitutes

High School

Absences caused too much catch up work and loss of instructional time -- increase anxiety and eventually led to attendance at virtual academy

Parents feeling more of the social emotional fatigue from supporting students

Parents feeling fatigue and loss of patience with shifting COVID protocols

Parent observed loss of sincerity and empathy when people are trying to fix situations and understanding solving process requires a process; would like to see more helpfulness

Getting back into the "swing of things" understand the old habits and prioritize the newer healthy and safer practices.  Getting back to the "prime" workload is the challenge.

General health needs of staff and students, with not only the physical aspect but also a mental health factor as well.

School Site Standpoint - Harder to hire people right now, so workload increases overall and creates more stress.

Offering resources to struggling families, and not having all the answers can create a sense of chaos and confusion... We don't always have the perfect answer. Problems vary, and it is hard to maintain the perfect answers when there are so many factors.

Teachers are seeing the same workload with their students who are their kids.
Teachers keeping up with workload and homework.
Not sure what it should be because kids are in different grades now compared to where they were before pandemic.

Health and safety was the natural focus during the pandemic. The pandemic has intensified our focus on mental health, social-emotional supports, even more than before.

Exciting to have prom.  No masks, so it felt very normal, which was nice.
Report that someone tested positive after Jr. Prom, but that was to be expected with the new mask mandate.
Teachers still feel disconnected from their students.  Masks and hoods kept them from connecting with facial recognition.
Next week is a big week with the no mask mandate. Some students haven't seen their teachers and teachers who have not seen their students.

- Technology challenges
- No volunteers (or not nearly as many as in years past)

Hoping for more activities such as Track for middle school kids.
Sophmore showing that one year was lost in development.
Kids have forgotten how to interact with each other.   More sibling type behavior.  Speak out a little more.
Kids coming home with issues with self regulation.
Kids were in 6th and now in 8th.  Shift in Science curriculum for self paced curriculum, in addition to self regulating is taking it's toll.

Lack of self-regulation

Challenges with kids going in and out due to pandemic
Hoping for dances and other activities next year.
Cutting their use of cellphones, no cell phone rule.
Masking disrespect from some groups
Interactions and conflicts that are more elementary than middle school  Brining kids up socially to grade level.
Workload is pretty much the same as pre-pandemic.  Teachers doing a good job of keeping up.
2nd grader seems to have enough homework.

Grading differences (like standard based grading) make student's understand about different teaching styles, and how to adapt. Although many students don't like the grading style, it is a ramp up of focusing on the concepts than the memorizing data.
