Hello! It’s hard to believe it is November already. I always feel a sigh of relief once we make it to Halloween, everyone has gotten into the routine of things, we’re heading out to our CBI and job sites and most things are running fairly smoothly. While this has been quite a different year, and not what anyone could have planned for, the students are doing an excellent job and things are running as smoothly as they can be. Yes, there will be technical issues here and there, but if we expect them and just know they’re bound to happen, they aren’t such a big deal. Please have patience when it happens on our end, and we will do the same for you!
Learning Labs: All in person learning labs will be suspended at the end of the day on Friday. For our students, this means Thursday as there are no learning labs held on Friday’s for our students. In the past, our learning labs have been allowed to continue, but this is not the case this time. The positivity rate was 8% as of Tuesday. The situation will be monitored weekly and learning labs will resume once the numbers reach a safe level. All students who attend a learning lab but do not attend virtually will be sent a link to join the virtual groups. Please note that learning labs and virtual students work at slightly different paces, so some lessons may be a repeat for the learning lab students.
Parent Teacher Conferences: Conferences are scheduled for November 5, 10, and 17th. If you would like a conference, please sign up for one of the time slots on SignUpGenius. The link to sign up was sent to everyone on Remind last week, and I will post it again here.
We will send one zoom link out per day. (Example: everyone requesting a conference on Thursday the 5th will receive the same link) Please log on at your time and wait in the “waiting room” until we begin the conference. We will admit you and begin the conference at your scheduled time. We have 32 students in our class, so please only choose one time slot when signing up in order to allow everyone a spot. If you have had a recent IEP or one that will be held soon, there is no need to schedule a conference unless you’d like one. We are always happy to talk to you!
