EMAIL
TO PRINCIPALS RE:
DISTANCE
LEARNING
The
email below went to
Principals today
(note that the links
are only accessible
to principals who
have access to the
Google doc.)
April
3,
2020
Our
leadership has never
been more important than
right now, as we embark
on this new journey of
Distance Learning
together. Our students
and families are
counting on us. We look
forward to connecting
with you either later
today (1:00 pm for
Elementary/K-8 and 2:30
pm for Secondary and
Atypical) or Monday
morning (invites will be
forthcoming) to provide
you more information on
our Distance Learning
plan. Please note for
year-round principals,
we will set up a meeting
when you return from
break. As we prepare for
our soft launch of
Distance Learning to
begin on Monday, April
6th, alignment and
coherence are essential.
In preparation for the
meeting, please review
this Distance
Learning Plan
and the updates
below:
DISTANCE
LEARNING
LAUNCH
We have two important
requests as we prepare
for our official launch
of Distance
Learning:
1. Continue to reach out
to your students and
families to share
pertinent information.
We want to give
educators the time and
space they need to
become proficient online
instructional educators.
This means, in some
cases, you may be the
only one connecting
directly with your
parents and students in
the days leading up to
the Distance Learning
launch on April
27th.
2. Help manage the
technology needs of your
staff and students.
Please do not send
requests for staff who
already have working
devices. Sending out
devices to staff who do
not truly need them
means someone in need
might be left without
access.

- Educators
will be

and this is
a good
opportunity
for
educators to

Distance

by:
- Participating
in
district

training
- Starting

continuing
to
reach
out
to
students

families
as
they
try
on
new
technology,

teaching
and
learning
- Identifying
the
limits
of
our
online
outreach.
If
students
and/or
staff
are
missing
access
to
the
internet
and/or
devices,
we
will
be
working
during
this
time
to
close
those
gaps
- Students
will be
continuing
their
learning
using
enrichment
materials
during this
time.
- Students
should
be
prepared
to
begin
learning
online

thank Toren
Allen, Executive
Director of
Integrated
Technology,
who has
worked tirelessly to
support our district
with access to
technology during
these challenging
times. Starting from
making sure central
office staff have
devices and a secure
network from home,
to organizing
efforts for students
and staff to have
access to technology
for teaching and
learning, Toren is
making sure everyone
is covered! It is
this behind the
scenes work that
often times goes
unnoticed. Great
job, Toren. We
appreciate all that
you do!

Wisconsin
Machinists
Extend
Contract
to
Accelerate
Ventilator
Production
Wisconsin
International
Association
of
Machinists
and
Aerospace
Workers
(IAM)
have
taken
bold
action,
and
unanimously
approved
a
one-year
contract
extension
—
rallying
to
the
call
for
emergent
ventilator
production.
"This
extension
allows
the
company
and
union
to
work
together
to
produce
lifesaving
ventilator
equipment
that
will
be
used
around
the
world
to
combat
the
virus,"
said
IAM
District
10
Business
Representative,
Joe
Terlisner.
IAM
International
President
Robert
Martinez,
Jr.
notes,
"It
is
because
of
hard-working
and
dedicated
men
and
women
like
the
membership
of
Local
1406
that
I
know
we
will
get
through
this
crisis.
They
are
an
inspiration
to
all
of
us
in
a
time
when
the
whole
world
needs
to
be
joining
together
in
solidarity
to
tackle
this
pandemic.
They
are
literally
saving
lives
and
our
entire
union
is
incredibly
proud
of
them."
