Has the district taken this into account? In a normal year we have late arriving buses for the first month of school. Related question: Who's enforcing distance and masking rules on the bus? This seems like a recipe for disaster as kids who ride the bus are often from the communities who have been hit hardest with the virus already. https://padlet.com/agerber16/eo8epn4vto5ad405/wish/1209426058 2021-02-17 01:51:40 UTC https://padlet.com/agerber16/eo8epn4vto5ad405/wish/1209426058 I'm just using this slot to put in another little plug for summer school options. In my make believe dream these are more like little day camps but with a portion of the day spent on targeted instruction in important areas. Maybe in partnership with Parks and Rec! Dream big, ya'll. https://padlet.com/agerber16/eo8epn4vto5ad405/wish/1209439968 2021-02-17 02:01:45 UTC https://padlet.com/agerber16/eo8epn4vto5ad405/wish/1209439968 are considerations made for families with multiple children at school? Same time of cohort (ie morning OR afternoon - not varrying)? To prevent multiple trips to/from school disrupting work day? https://padlet.com/agerber16/eo8epn4vto5ad405/wish/1212222204 2021-02-17 17:47:48 UTC https://padlet.com/agerber16/eo8epn4vto5ad405/wish/1212222204 After/before care options? https://padlet.com/agerber16/eo8epn4vto5ad405/wish/1219973697 Wondering about what care could look like for students whose parents work full time...]]> 2021-02-19 18:40:18 UTC https://padlet.com/agerber16/eo8epn4vto5ad405/wish/1219973697 Another option for full days? https://padlet.com/agerber16/eo8epn4vto5ad405/wish/1219976755 Could there be two full days rather than the 2 hours per day broken up throughout the week? That would be a lot more helpful with work schedules for me and my husband.

What equipment will be available to teachers to allow consistent, clear, and adequate speech volume for at home learners? Will a live feed from a lap top microphone capture speech appropriately for at home learners? Keeping in mind that the speech input is from the teacher in a mask, or a student's question/comment in mask. How will this be an adequate and equitable live feed distance learning experience? https://padlet.com/agerber16/eo8epn4vto5ad405/wish/1220608659 2021-02-19 22:39:49 UTC https://padlet.com/agerber16/eo8epn4vto5ad405/wish/1220608659 With any hybrid model will families with siblings be able to have siblings have the same schedule? https://padlet.com/agerber16/eo8epn4vto5ad405/wish/1220617278 2021-02-19 22:46:23 UTC https://padlet.com/agerber16/eo8epn4vto5ad405/wish/1220617278 How will students on the live feed ask questions or get help? Especially with the remainder of the learning being asynchronous. Will there be more office hours for teachers and will students be proactive (especially the younger grades) to use this time? https://padlet.com/agerber16/eo8epn4vto5ad405/wish/1220625385 2021-02-19 22:52:03 UTC https://padlet.com/agerber16/eo8epn4vto5ad405/wish/1220625385 How will the social-emotional aspect be handled between kids who learn from home and are more "observers" of the class VS kids who learn in-person with a teacher in the classroom and have more interaction. How will interaction to the CDL group be facilitated? https://padlet.com/agerber16/eo8epn4vto5ad405/wish/1220767169 2021-02-20 00:53:50 UTC https://padlet.com/agerber16/eo8epn4vto5ad405/wish/1220767169 I'm really concerned that PPS wants to stop providing actual interactive, participatory education for kids who are distance learning. CDL (specifically the synchronous activities) have been a major source of connection and stability/routine - replacing it with literally having to sit at home passively watching a video feed of their friends get taught in school is not just ineffective education-wise - it's damaging to their mental health and will only exacerbate feelings of isolation. I don't know how PPS can really justify providing such disparate quality educations to kids at school vs kids distance learning during a pandemic. https://padlet.com/agerber16/eo8epn4vto5ad405/wish/1222298258 2021-02-21 02:01:18 UTC https://padlet.com/agerber16/eo8epn4vto5ad405/wish/1222298258 If the whole model is based on simulcast, where does that put teachers that can't be in the classroom - will they at least be able to offer CDL for families that opt out of a videofeed of their friends/classmates' class? https://padlet.com/agerber16/eo8epn4vto5ad405/wish/1222305755 2021-02-21 02:13:09 UTC https://padlet.com/agerber16/eo8epn4vto5ad405/wish/1222305755
