Quick Links: Please make sure you’re signed into your 4J Google Account to access many of these links.

  • SPED/Gen Ed Collaboration Log – Complete the full log at the beginning of each new unit.    
  • Update to Weekly Collaboration Log: SSD heard teachers’ feedback about the collaboration log. SSD met with EEA members to make revisions and improvements to the log. Here’s a rundown of the changes:
    • AT THE BEGINNING OF EACH UNIT: Teachers now complete the full set of questions ONLY when you are beginning a new unit of study. Ideally, you’d fill this out BEFORE beginning the unit, to help you think about ways to incorporate UDL elements.
    • WEEKLY: Complete the last two questions about students who aren’t engaging or may need additional supports. If everyone being served with an IEP is engaged and succeeding, there’s no need to fill out the form that week.    
  • Weekly Check In: Linked here is the staff weekly check-in. I’d like to know how you’re doing and be able to offer support for those who need it. I’ve also learned fascinating things about our staff. Here are a few highlights about some of our staff:
    • Favorite songs as a kid: ABBA was very popular with our group!    

DISTRICT INFORMATION                

  • Lifetouch: Parents may have received an email from Lifetouch about taking their own photos at home and sending them in. The district is looking at options for doing photos if/when we return in person. No word yet on how that would work for families that choose 100% at home.
