Keep our students and staff safe and in school:
District
Work with the library media specialist to access Common School Funds to provide for student needs. Prepare resources for at school and at home learner needs. Create professional development plans based upon needs identified. Coordinate with district leadership to identify staff that can assist with device management and extended technology support. Communicate frequently with families regarding technology use in the
Continuously monitor and document device return process. Review issue tracking and inventory results frequently. Identify chronic technology issues that arose during the school closure period and use them to adjust the district technology plan.
High School
Ensure we have inventory and track for virtual learners Continue to educate and enhance classroom delivery and offerings in Canvas Maintain and troubleshoot student technology issues

Facility changes to eliminate high frequency touch spots.
Install desk shields in high volume student areas Clean and sanitize all workspaces hourly
Elementary Schools
Students will remain in classroom cohorts for the majority of the day. Lunch and recess are modified to include only one grade level at a time. Carpets and mats will be taken out of classrooms to increase social distancing. Each school will have an isolation station for ill children and a separate location for first- aid or medication distribution. Students will be encouraged to wear protective equipment and face coverings throughout the entire day. Water filling stations will be installed at all elementary schools to encourage students to bring their own water bottle to school. All drinking fountains will be turn off.
Middle Schools

Middle Schools
Continued use of E3 process Continued use of TECIP process Virtual access to counselors and resources through Canvas
District
Communicate with families for 100% virtual enrollment options in connection with information about staying within your own district Complete “flash back/ flash forward” curriculum assessment to identify and communicate learning gaps in vertical teams. Ensure prerequisite skills are articulated in curriculum maps. Adjust pacing guides to reflect curriculum changes identified in collaborative teams. Work with schools to develop targeted intervention plans for the most vulnerable students through Site Intervention Team/RTI process. Reporting of progress and credit acquisition will remain the same as in prior years through Skyward and Mastery Connect Ensure teachers have professional learning time for collaborative lesson study, collaborative review of student work, and sharing of practice through collaborative teams in a professional learning community
High School
Alternate places for large group classes
Revisit department pathways to ensure standards are appropriately met Maintain/Enhance Senior Release
Elementary Schools
A multi-tiered approach of identifying student needs and providing Intervention and support will continue both in person and virtually. Teacher teams will identify standards and instruction given during extended closure and reflect on the needs of the students for the upcoming school year. Grade Level teams must be on pace with each other as students from all sections could be moving to Virtual Learning. TRUE INTERDEPENDENCE will make us better.
Middle Schools
Prioritization of power standards through flash back – flash forward work (use of TIER II and TIER III processes to support) Encourage physical learning spaces that maximize social distancing as much as possible Co-teaching, online learning, blended learning (flexibility and shared responsibility) Continuity of education for students who are quarantined
District Create plan for circulation of materials. Provide book return and new material containers that can be dated and placed in quarantine for at least 72 hours (3 days) before being handled by staff. Pack and store non-technology shared supplies. Properly clean technology devices. Maintain libraries to reflect district distancing guidelines. Identify professional learning strengths and needs of staff in the use
students and teachers to use online catalogs to view the collection and place holds for materials. Promote and facilitate use of online resources, such as eBooks, audiobooks, research databases, and instructional tools. Work with technology and curriculum teams to plan professional learning opportunities for staff members based on identified needs.
High School
Ensure table seating is facing the same direction Establish a 72-hour circulation process after materials have been returned by students. Ensure distant learning and computers are sanitized after each use.
Elementary Schools
Libraries will have dated return buckets/carts. Materials will be held for at least 72 hours before being handled by staff and re-shelved. Social distancing for seating and movement in the library will be in place. Teacher and literacy coaches will review read aloud video permissions and cite appropriately. Procedures for book browsing will be modified to encourage use of Destiny

Create a plan on transition back to address and document using action steps and communicate to all staff of that student.
District
Complete delayed or new identification processes for targeted high- ability/high-potential students and create corresponding pupil profiles, as warranted. Identify additional students in need of intervention and/or services, whether academic or social-emotional Utilize flexible grouping practices to better serve the needs of students with gifts/talents. Differentiate in a variety of ways, especially for gifted/talented or high-ability/high potential students who know the content or can learn it quickly.
