DAILY UPDATE #248 -- 4/21/2021
- NEW ITEMS
- Q and A (Wednesday, April 21, 2021)
Q: Summer School - with schools opening April 12th and all that goes into ensuring a safe 8 weeks of instruction, we are also being tasked with getting ready for summer school. Since the district has the reports of eligible students, they should be sending out the emails and google docs and then registering students. All staff including office will be covering drop-off, dismissal, lunch, and supporting in classrooms for simultaneous learning. The Powerschool training occurred during the busy week of preparation and again during the first week back. The timeframe to turn this around is unrealistic. Parents and staff are all currently fielding messages regarding return to site. Adding messaging around summer experience is overwhelming for both. This needs to be a centralized effort at this point in time.
A: (Answer provided by the district) Plans for the Summer Experience are well underway and will continue to move forward to meet contractual deadlines and to have all the pieces in place for a successful student experience. The Principal Operations meeting on April 19th covered important information and more is posted in the Principal Update including assistance in tagging students. Jen Roberson is conducting office hours and at least one other meeting will be held in May. Questions: Contact jroberson@sandi.net or Lisa Sheldon lsheldo1@sandi.net.

- HOTLINE FOR AASD MEMBERS – A VERY USEFUL TOOL
The hotline AASD negotiated with the District is available to all AASD unit members (classified and certificated) who are charged with enforcing the health and safety policies and procedures at the school site. Call the hotline when you need immediate assistance when conflicts arise, clarification is needed, or decisions must be made regarding health and safety matters. Once we have staff and students back on campus, issues may arise where site AASD members don’t have direction or an answer. Call the hotline for help! Put the hotline number in your cell phone so you have it when needed.
This hotline is for ALL AASD represented members, both classified and certificated. The hotline phone number is (619) 981-0760. The hotline is available on all District workdays, Monday through Friday, from 7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. In the rare event that a message must be left, all calls will be returned promptly, within the same day.
