Curriculum and Instruction

Interesting Information

Check out the video on the DC Everest Restart that was put out to families a few weeks ago.

Announcements/Week Ahead

Virtual Open House - In the newsletter that went home I informed parents that each teacher would be placing an introductory video on their home Canvas page introducing themselves, their course, course expectations, and providing contact information in lieu of an open house. This does not have to be a long video but does need to be completed by the start of school.

Classroom Preparedness - As you come into your classrooms over the next week please do your best to address any needs you may have between your colleagues and departments. There will be an opportunity to place any custodial requests on a google form, where the requests will be prioritized based on priorities to open the building and get the school going.  

Soft seating - We are asking that any soft seating items be packed up and stored in the corner, taken home if they are personal belongings, or placed in the hallway for removal. Students are not allowed to sit on any soft seating items during this time.

Wednesday, August 26th - Staff Meeting - Our first staff meeting will be at 8am on Wednesday. We will meet outside the main entrance - socially distanced and masked up. This will be a standing meeting and will be pretty short.

Department/PLC Meeting - At some point on Wednesday or Thursday your department chair will communicate a time for department and PLC meetings to take place.  Please let Dawn know when those meetings are scheduled.
