What challenges are you facing? and what are some bright spots you can point to? Has student support changed at your school due to the COVID-context? en-us 2020-10-05 19:18:13 UTC 2020-10-14 16:52:13 UTC hello@padlet.com Grafton Middle School is running both a hybrid model and a remote learning model, which is impacting our ability to connect with and engage our students. Our hybrid students are present 5 days in school and home 5 days. Masks and social distancing have changed the way we interact with one another. https://padlet.com/s3academyma/pgjno5v54e7pjrq3/wish/829399552 2020-10-14 16:44:31 UTC https://padlet.com/s3academyma/pgjno5v54e7pjrq3/wish/829399552 Community Disconnect - Agawam https://padlet.com/s3academyma/pgjno5v54e7pjrq3/wish/829399797 We have a pretty robust group of parents that are fighting tooth and nail to get all students back into buildings, full-in, ASAP. Our town is not reporting the COVID cases in alignment with the state cases, which causes a lot of anxiety amongst the teachers. 

However, a majority of students are adapting and adjusting to the "new normal" and are being a lot more reasonable than adults!

We have been in a "hybrid" model since the beginning of the year.]]> 2020-10-14 16:44:34 UTC https://padlet.com/s3academyma/pgjno5v54e7pjrq3/wish/829399797 Something that has been challenging is having students who show up via Zoom stay engage throughout the day https://padlet.com/s3academyma/pgjno5v54e7pjrq3/wish/829400294 2020-10-14 16:44:42 UTC https://padlet.com/s3academyma/pgjno5v54e7pjrq3/wish/829400294 Starting Hybrid Nov 2 https://padlet.com/s3academyma/pgjno5v54e7pjrq3/wish/829400335 Challenge-  Appropriate staffing for hybrid vs. remote.]]> 2020-10-14 16:44:42 UTC https://padlet.com/s3academyma/pgjno5v54e7pjrq3/wish/829400335 CHCS - Belchertown https://padlet.com/s3academyma/pgjno5v54e7pjrq3/wish/829400479 We have both hybrid and remote learning options.

At this point, we are trying to restart our SST and determine what data sources we can use while our school remains primarily remote. We started hybrid for our highest needs students, but a very small percentage of our student population is currently in the building.
