Yes, I agree. As much as I support and want us to return to in-person learning (whenever it’s safe!), there are students who need the option to...
My district is already planning to have a virtual elementary and middle school for the 2021-2022 school year since we have students who have...
@Pi-R-Squared off topic question, but did you earn tenure yet?
I’m sure admin already know he’s incompetent. Not to derail the thread, but I haven’t seen departmentalization below 4th grade. As a former 1st...
If you decide to go with meds, give them a couple of weeks to start working. It takes a few weeks for them to kick in. I wish you the best. Even...
This is actually really good advice.
I’m assuming you’re in CA because you said SDC. As an admin, I do not envy SDC teachers right now. That’s probably why your admin was...
We had a similar situation happen. We had to move about 10 students to different classrooms. We (admin) wanted to tell parents ourselves first...

We just finished Week #2! I feel just as busy as I am during a regular school year—just a different kind of busy. What keeps me busiest is...
I just read an email from our superintendent that states he would like uniformity among the sites, so we will be doing a drive thru pick up of...

Despite students beginning their school year with Distance Learning, we would like to still have a (masked) Meet the Teacher day for students so...
I'm happy that teachers who need to teach virtually for whatever reason (a survey went out from the district office) will be able to do so....
My district had a grandiose plan for reopening. It has quickly morphed into what you are describing. Where’s the eye roll emoji when I need it?
