Brace yourselves 🙂 I moved some things around and changed a bit of the formatting in the blog. Hopefully this makes things easier to find. The week’s schedule is first to avoid having to scroll all the way down to find out when meetings and events are this week. It’s now also in a table to take up less vertical space. I’ve also split the blog into three sections. The first is for Madison-specific information, with this week’s info first and future into after that. The second section is district-wide information. The third is for professional learning articles and videos and any other information that doesn’t fit in the first two sections. The last piece is the schedule for the following week.

MADISON INFORMATION

 

    

     

  • Climate Team Update: In an effort to infuse a bit of energy into kids, and hopefully get some screens on, climate team has decided to organize a spirit week for the 9th-13th. Please see Kellen’s email for more details and watch for a possible teaser, from Tim’s theater kids, to share with classes.

 

  • District Distribution Dates: If you have anything you wanted to hand out, please work with your team to prepare for distribution on Thursday, November 5.

 

  • Student Global Announcements: We have learned how to make global announcements on Canvas.  If you want anything announced to the whole school, please let Gina or Peter know.
                           

DISTRICT INFORMATION   

  • District Admin Update: At last week’s school board meeting, the board postponed their superintendent search for another year, so Cydney Vandercar will continue to serve as acting superintendent for the 2021-22 school year.
                         
  • Talent Ed Goal Setting: Please have all your goals done by Monday.
         
  • Receiving materials from families: Below is an email from Dawn Strong about the protocols for receiving items from students and families. As we are now approximately one month into the school year we are hearing that there are parents/guardians/students who are showing up at schools for a variety of reasons. It may be to exchange equipment, turn in necessary materials or documentation, or to pick something up for their student(s). While we don’t want to turn any parents/guardians/students away, and our preference is that meetings are pre-scheduled, we also know that there are times when they arrive unannounced. When this happens employees must follow the guidelines below:
    • The employee who interacts with the parent/guardian/student must be wearing a face covering.
    • If the parent/guardian/student is delivering an item to the school, the employee must also be wearing gloves.
    • Meet the parent/guardian/student outside the building. Do not bring them inside. 
    • Maintain at least 6 ft of distance from them at all times.
    • Never take something directly from the person who is dropping it off.
    • Preference – Have a table set up outside the front of your school and have the item(s) placed onto the table. Once the person steps back, the employee will pick up the item(s) using gloves and take it into the building where it will be placed in a designated location to sit untouched for 24 hours, or until it can be cleaned and sanitized (wiped down). 
    • The employee will remove the gloves and then go wash their hands.

 

PROFESSIONAL LEARNING AND OTHER INFORMATION    

  • Educator Appreciation (Papa John’s): The owner of the two Eugene Papa John’s locations is offering 40% off to all educators (certified, classified, and admin) has both of his locations. Use the code EUCTEACH when you order online or by phone. The code will be good through the end of the year.
