Open Q and A with parents via zoom.  Recording questions being asked (posting answers / social media / website).

FAQ (for necessities / services / help).  Have a consolidated list if possible (with easy access in multiple places).

Community direct engagement - can you truly shop local, meet with local leaders/business owners, go to them directly (start the conversation about what you as a school are doing).

Mental Health Perspective - where are our kids at when they return to school?  (Social-emotional)

Intention vs. Impact - are we actually doing the work we want to... How do we meet kids / families where are they at now?

It used to be Hallway connections, now?  
It used to be Sports connections, now?

Build interest at where they are at - video games, what have they been up to this summer (since COVID).

How do we run clubs now - what can we add, can we incorporate this into our weekly schedule or afterschool? Create a new online community... via the school - create those connections.

Youtube Video - What have we been up to this summer - an announcement of future Zooms.
-- Modeling --

Face-to-Face (If teachers in class) - Make direct connections / empathy + compassion.  
Big Groups / Zoom are tough (easy to turn off the screen, disconnect, be out there).

Building Relationships is key - See where people are at / concerns.

Planning will be key.
