- Q and A (Tuesday, September 1, 2020)
Q: Why do paraeducators only have to work 50% of their regular hours? This seems unfair when everyone else is working more. We won’t be able to cover the needs of our students with paraeducators on such limited hours.
A: (Answer provided by the District) Unfortunately, there is a lot of confusion about the work time for paraeducators. Paraeducators have to work their full hours and the District has provided guidance for online learning (“screen time”) with students. When Paraeducators are not providing synchronous support they can be providing support to students in other ways (parent contact, phone, prep, etc.) Here is the flier that includes the information: Welcome Back Paraeducators 2020. All of the information needed is in the link below.

- SPECIAL GRATITUDE
If an AASD member has a department or individual that deserves special recognition during this time of crisis, please use the link above for reporting issues/questions/concerns/gratitude to show your gratitude for the department or individual. AASD will publish that special thanks in our next Daily Update.
From an Area 4 Principal: “Gratitude for Liz Sloan, Principal, EB Scripps Elementary! She very graciously shared some back-to-school communication materials with a me, a fellow Area 4 principal, when I was so overwhelmed last week. It may have been a simple task for her, but it lifted a huge weight off my shoulders and I am VERY grateful for the support. She always offers to share the great strategies she has in place at her site with all The Elementary Principals (TEP).
