Week 29: 03/16/20 – 03/20/20

Wow, what a day! 
There are many things we cannot control.
I imagine we all experienced a sense of uncertainty today. I’m hopeful that some of your questions were answered and you feel ready to take on e-Learning together on Monday morning!
THANK YOU for being positive, flexible, and GROUNDED today for our Kubbies!

​Thank you for your hard work in creating meaningful e-Learning activities for our students.
Here is the folder (in our shared Kennedy drive) where we will house the e-Learning materials. Feel free to continue adding ideas and resources you may find over the weekend to share with your team. Here are some Showbie Resources you may want to revisit over the weekend if you need a refresher!
We (all staff) will meet on Monday morning at 8:30am in the cafeteria. We will review some more info about e-Learning and will make sure we’re all on the same page before launching our morning welcome message for our 1st e-Learning day, together shortly after!
If any of your students were not at school today (to take their iPad home), they have been contacted and you will receive an email from Sara with a specific appointment time on Monday when your student and their parent(s) will stop in the office.
We will take time on Monday to review training/learning functions on Showbie. We’ll make sure that each teacher JOINS the classrooms that they need to join and that we are all situated! Together we’re better, and together we’ll provide the best learning experiences for our Kubbies!
We’ll also take this time to SHARE awesome e-Learning resources, ideas, materials to keep our students excited about learning and engaged with us over the next two weeks.
PLEASE take the time to add resources or activities so we can learn from one another and create some amazing e-Learning days for our students. Feel free to add a slide, and fill in information so we can share-out and learn from one another on Monday! Collectively, we’re better! Many of you have already shared such amazing resources with one another! Let’s keep this going!
We are going to get through this the way we always do….with care, compassion, community and support! 
We got this….and we’ll be stronger on the other side for it. 
Thank you to every single person who pitched in to help today — we so appreciate your help and willingness to just lend a hand!
A big thanks to Dr. B for her courageous leadership!! Thank you for always keeping the safety of SD81’s students and staff at the forefront of every single decision you make! We are grateful for your leadership.
Donna, Sara and I couldn’t ask for a better work family to ride out a pandemic with.
Be well, and let us know if you need anything!
(Please be sure to forward any questions or concerns so we can navigate this together).
See you on Monday at 8:30am in the cafeteria! 
 
Wash your hands!
Stay healthy!
(and let me know if you have any spare toilet paper….just kidding).
