Principal's Report - March 4, 2021 - Learning Plan

LEARNING THE WEEK OF MARCH 8-12, 2021

Starting next week, March 8-12, 2021 students who elect on-site learning will enter through the east/west kiosks, follow the same check-in procedures, and report to their teacher of record. If a teacher has an accommodation to work remotely or a substitute is not available, students will report to specific locations by period with certified staff members in each department. Both virtual and on-site learners will access curriculum through BLEND and teachers will use a concurrent teaching model. Signs with room numbers are posted throughout the school on the mounted hallway TVs. For those on-site students with Individual Education Plans (IEPs) who report to specialized classrooms, they will continue to do so in accordance with their schedules. For on-site learners, AISD transportation and food services will continue. Should a student have Wifi or technology needs, please call our main number at (512) 414-2505 and we will connect you with our campus-based tech team. New: Students who elect on-site learning will no longer need to complete a Google form each week.
