8th Grade Promotion Ideas by Sean Anglon https://padlet.com/sanglon/s4d0lm8xwr5z6m7i Brainstorm - how we can conduct an in person promotion ceremony for our 8th graders? en-us 2021-03-10 19:19:29 UTC 2021-03-16 16:27:23 UTC hello@padlet.com Survey https://padlet.com/sanglon/s4d0lm8xwr5z6m7i/wish/1300987764 If we're going to have an in-person promotion for students, I would like to know prior how many would plan to come.  If a majority of students don't care whether it's in person, then we should consider an alternative.   
If we do proceed, I like the idea of doing it by teams and within teams to spread out throughout the day.]]> 2021-03-12 01:50:49 UTC https://padlet.com/sanglon/s4d0lm8xwr5z6m7i/wish/1300987764 Not safe sanglon https://padlet.com/sanglon/s4d0lm8xwr5z6m7i/wish/1302881109 At this point, it seems that we cannot safely have an event where we have a mass in-person gathering.  ]]> 2021-03-12 15:13:12 UTC https://padlet.com/sanglon/s4d0lm8xwr5z6m7i/wish/1302881109 I don't find this to be a very important event, but if it is being mandated by the DO then I would say small groups. sanglon https://padlet.com/sanglon/s4d0lm8xwr5z6m7i/wish/1302885300 The students and 2 family members only. Minimize the number of staff involved. Maybe do one team on one day and the other two teams on two other days. Do it on the blacktop simlar to the awards day we have had in the past. No chairs, just a few people standing socially distanced apart.]]> 2021-03-12 15:14:04 UTC https://padlet.com/sanglon/s4d0lm8xwr5z6m7i/wish/1302885300 Yes have promotion sanglon https://padlet.com/sanglon/s4d0lm8xwr5z6m7i/wish/1302894984  think we need to talk with MHS or look at what other schools did to recognize students safely. We can do this by team maybe. I also think we should do yard signs again this year, b/c our students just did not get much of a middle school experience.]]> 2021-03-12 15:16:09 UTC https://padlet.com/sanglon/s4d0lm8xwr5z6m7i/wish/1302894984 Yes have promotion! These kids deserve it. They have worked so hard during a pandemic and deserve a little celebration at the end of it. If MHS was able to do it last year we should definitely at least be able to do it by team this year mrangel28 https://padlet.com/sanglon/s4d0lm8xwr5z6m7i/wish/1303347672 2021-03-12 16:52:23 UTC https://padlet.com/sanglon/s4d0lm8xwr5z6m7i/wish/1303347672 What if for promotion, we did a drive through promotion? but we don't hand anything off to anyone (no paper) https://padlet.com/sanglon/s4d0lm8xwr5z6m7i/wish/1312524235 We do it in a big open space, maybe the parking lot. each family pulls up in a designated spot. it would be like a drive-in promotion, and families stay in their spots. if they get out of the car, they need to wear masks. Then we project their name onto a big screen? maybe include photos too if they send it to us? 
perhaps there could even be a movie after, if people are interested!]]> 2021-03-15 19:28:21 UTC https://padlet.com/sanglon/s4d0lm8xwr5z6m7i/wish/1312524235 Optional promotion by Team kzamudio2 https://padlet.com/sanglon/s4d0lm8xwr5z6m7i/wish/1316379789 Families wanting the in-person experience can enter via two entry points(front of school or north parking lot) in any order. Given an 8th grade T-shirt(instead of a yard sign). Spacing dots(or paws?) lead them to the mulberry area.  Teachers can be spaced out on the stage.  Use the mic to announce the next student approaching (music/posters while families wait in line).  Place the certificate on a stool or something.  Get a photobooth app set-up on an ipad/tripod to take a picture of the student and print/deliver on the spot.  Families exit via the upper black top/north parking lot.  Perhaps allow the students/teachers to stand up on the upper blacktop,  distanced for a group shot(drone?).]]> 2021-03-16 15:44:32 UTC https://padlet.com/sanglon/s4d0lm8xwr5z6m7i/wish/1316379789
