3/20/2020 15:38:09Amy KolquistVista Peak ExploratoryCommunicationWill there be training on how to set up virtual meetings with teachers and parents? Will we also have access to be able to send connect ed messages from our home computers? Currently our coordinator needs to go to the school to send it out. Yes, there will be training for school leaders on how to run a meeting using Google Meets. Yes, you will have access to your school messenger system to send out communications to your family. There will be more information coming about expectations.

If you are having any difficulty sending School Messenger message remotely, please email the help desk and someone will contact you to ensure this works.

3/20/2020 15:51:11Kim PippengerV CourtCommunicationIn an effort to not duplicate efforts, could we get some clarity about what we need to communicate as a school and what will be shared/should be shared by the district? Anything we should update on our website? I'm sure that it will level out once we are up and running with online learning but as we get going, it's not clear to me what we need to produce and what the district will be communicating and when. Thanks!Holding for district communications. Most needs will be addressed in the Remote Learning Site and then anything you haven't received you can communicate to your staff.

3/20/2020 15:56:22J HarringtonAlturaCommunicationCan we get some sort of handout with the basics of login and daily routines? Many families are not computer savvy and while I love the website it may be challenging for them to even find.The remotelearning.aurorak12.org website is now a live draft for stakeholders to begin to look at the guidance there. It will "officially" launch Mon Mar 30th.

3/20/2020 15:57:40Fatih OzerLotusCommunicationWill the district-wide communication cover the charters, or do we need to send the communication to our parents?No. Communication around any and all things remote learning will only be sent to APS traditional school families, not inclusive of charter schools due to each charter school having autonomy in developing their own remote learning plan. If a charter school does choose to utilize the APS virtual learning plan, any communications put out by APS to families will be shared with your school in writin to disseminate through your own communication channels.

3/20/2020 15:58:00Mary WinterbottomECE DepartmentCommunicationHi - What communication regarding new students registering in the district and the responsibilities of the elementary schools office staff with continuing enrollment of students? I am very concerned about making sure we do continue to think about August and our enrollment also. I do not know the status of office support at this time.Centralized Admissions is working remotely to process Online Registration (OLR) Applications for both the 19-20 and 20-21 school year. At this time, we are working on building the process that will support getting students who are registering for this year quick access to the Remote Learning applications.

3/20/2020 17:30:13Lisa GRHSCommunicationWhat platform are we to use for weekly all staff meetings? How many participants can be on a platform?We are supporting principals in holding staff meetings using Google Meet. It is an option built directly in Google Calendar appointments. It allows for 250 interactive participants, 100,000 live stream viewers, recording video and chat transcript, and live closed captioning. Support for learning how to use it is found on the remotelearning.aurorak12.org website. Ed Tech coaches are also available to help on-demand.

3/20/2020 15:20:22KellyClyde MillerCurriculumWhat if students have never taken the math iready assessments?Teachers will be able to assign work to students. Training will be provided to teachers to show them how to do this.
14
3/20/2020 15:27:51Amy KolquistVista Peak ExploratoryCurriculumCan teachers who already have google classroom set up create additional lessons and learning opportunities beyond what is being offered online? Is there anyway we will be able to get students access to online copies of texts (novels) that students are currently reading in class?Yes, if they want to add additional resources but there should not be an expectation that students are participating in live lessons, turning in work, or that materials will be graded.
15
3/20/2020 15:49:27Amy KolquistVista Peak ExploratoryCurriculumWhat is the expectation for exploratory teachers to be distributing online lessons?They are serving as a resouce to their students if needed. We are also still planning on ways to support all staff in having meaningful engagement in this very unique time.

3/20/2020 16:50:25Mehran AhmedSouthCurriculumQuestion I have about the platform for Edgenuity? Is there flexibility on using a different platform? Can we use google classroom?No - all kids will be on Edgenuity for the learning. Teachers can use Google classrooms for other things but not as the primary source of the learning experience. This will be further clarified with informaiton that is coming.

3/20/2020 18:04:20Jason SmithIowa ElementaryCurriculum1. Are teachers able to plan alternative lessons in addition to pushing out iReady Reading and iReady Math lessons?
2. If the expectation is only to provide iReady Reading and Math, then what are paras truly expected to do?
3. Are we taking attendance during this time in order to gain an understanding of the number of students participating?
4. What is the expectations for Art, Music, and PE teachers?
5. Our Kindergarten students do not use iReady, can we create alternative learning for our Kindergarten students?
6. Are long-term plans in the works in case this situation goes beyond 4/17?
7. What are the expectations for teacher evaluations?		First and foremost, I want to thank individuals who are working on this situation that is unprecedented. It truly is a monumental task to think about and plan. There isn't a right or wrong way to do this as we will be learning as we go. However, I do believe this an opportunity to look at learning differently, for teachers to add to their toolbox, and for all of us to come together. Many of our students are already behind in comparison to their peers in other districts and I fear if we are only doing iReady lessons, then the gap will grow. I believe our teachers and students would rise to the challenge if we empowered them to create lessons and bring some normalcy to an abnormal situation.Again, this is unprecedented. I thank everyone who has been addressing remote/online learning for our students.See communications from LCDs sent on 3/24

Are they allowed to continue or should they stop and use Edgenuity?Students will need to use Edgenuity
23
3/20/2020 18:21:17Lisa GRHSCurriculumTeachers are going to want to see what 4th quarter content looks like in Edgenuity. If they are being trained on March 25th, does this give them enough time to understand what will be taught so they can support their student's learning? When are we going "live" with kids? I didn't catch that on a slide.See communications from LCDs sent on 3/24

3/20/2020 22:59:51Jen Murtha Lansing ECE SupportI am unclear what remote learning will look like for ECE. I am very confused on what GOLD will look like too as that was included in the presentation as something I need to oversee. Any direction is welcomed. Thank you! Hello Jen! MTS Gold observations can still be documented via parent report and even teacher observation during a google hangout (for example if students greet the teacher back with a complete sentence they could document the length of the sentence and vocabulary the student used in MTS gold after the hangout). We are encouraging our preschool teachers to continue to use MTS gold as they will be supporting preschoolers with disabilities and gen ed students. Although there will not be a formal checkpoint for GOLD in either preschool or kindergarten, we are wanting our preschool teachers to continue to use the tool. Progress monitoring in kindergarten can now occur in I ready for both math and literacy and that is enough of an ask on Kindie right now given all the change. Please let me know if I can be of further help and know that additional guidance is on its way with much more content.

3/20/2020 18:06:00Julie StephensHinkleyELD SupportHi Ashlee! Great job! Could you please organize a zoom meeting next week to discuss CLDE Virtual Learning? I think it would be important to virtually invite Sue-Lin, Paul, Diane, Laura, Emily Nickerson, Larry Irvin, Amy Berberich, Jen Montoya, Victoria Wyatt, Ken Evans (our Admin/TOSAs). Thank you for your support! Thanks - looking forward to connecting on Thursday.
29
3/20/2020 15:34:19Chris CapronMurphy Creek ESS SpupportAre we expecting ESS to meet minute requirements through the IEP? The expectation for special education services is that students receive services that will allow them to continue to progress toward grade level standards and IEP goals. We do not expect anyone to provide services to the minute. We ask for progress monitoring to occur at regular intervals and that services be adjusted as needed based on progress monitoring. When school resumes in a more traditional/tpical fashion, ESS will partner with teachers and service providers to review progress monitoring data for every student and hold IEP meetings to determine the extent to which compensatory services are required for any student who may have experienced a denial of FAPE as a result of this closure as demonstrated by lack of progress or regression.
30
3/20/2020 15:39:09Erin TurnerJamaica CDCESS SpupportCan we have staff in building - with social distancing - to hold evaluations and IEP meetings over the phone with families and Language Link?At this time, all evaluations need to be conducted virtually. Contact your ESS consultant, an ESS program director or the ESS director for support as needed.
31
3/20/2020 15:55:44Sandy FenleyLaredo ElemESS SpupportWhen will Cross-Cat teachers receive information about all of this and their legal responsibilities?
Did you say that teachers would receive this information early next week? My staff has many questions about next steps and information would be appreciated as soon as possible. 		Cross categorical teachers will receive information with the release of the remote learning expectations for all staff. ESS Consultants and ToSAs will be availalbe to answer questions on Monday, March 30th via virtual office hours.
32
3/20/2020 15:58:37Traci NicksESSESS SpupportWhat do initial evaluations and re-evaluations for special education look like online? How do we evaluate students for services?ESS Cosultants and ToSAs wil work with individual IEP teams to create an evaluation plan for each student based on the data that has been collected and is currently avaialble. In the event that face to face evaluation or observation is still needed to be able to make a viable eligibility determination, the evaluation will be delayed until face to face interactions can occur.
33
3/20/2020 16:01:09Kelsey HaddockAurora Quest K8ESS SpupportHow can I best direct special education teachers who need to complete testing for initials and re-evals?ESS Consultants and ToSAs will work with individual teams to create an evaluation plan for each student based on data that has been collected.

34
3/20/2020 16:01:21Ruth BaldiviaBoston P8ESS SpupportWhat do we do with students who were in the process of an evaluation and need classroom observations or testing?ESS Consultants and ToSAs will work with individual teams to create an evaluation plan for each student based on data that has been collected. In the event that face to face evaluation or observation is still needed to be able to make a viable special education eligiblity determination, the evlaution will be delayed until face to face interactions can occur.

IEP Re-evaluations - ESS Consultants and ToSAs will review all data available with individual teams and create a plan. It is advised that staff focus on data that is currently available and conduc record reviews to complete IEP reevaluations in lieu of additional testing.
35
3/20/2020 17:49:12Emily NIckersonHinkley ESSESS SupportWhat supports should my teachers be providing for our students on EEOs?Thank you! This was very well planned! All ESS providers will provide virtual services with the goal of providing all students with disabiltiies to continue to access general education and make progress toward both the general education standards and their IEP goals. Guidance for students working toward EEOs can be found in the ESS virtual learning plan and in the DLC guidance document (https://docs.google.com/document/d/102q3hvy381wUtG2yUODL8j0RbtyeqxsZ_QlC4cWtKbk/edit?usp=sharing), ILC guidance document (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1UEleRwzUCnFh9K0pQ94LJOXWPJsHY4AQAdiE-ajPXs4/edit?usp=sharing), and Autism guidance document (https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/13BDtkFmrgUcMEgManGFKI9c9tlb3j0Ii?usp=sharing).
36
3/20/2020 21:07:03Ruth BaldiviaBoston P8ESS SupportBoston has been down a cross cat teacher and we hired a long term sub who does not have a current special education license. Is she still expected to provide services? Also even with the long term sub we have not been able to provide IEP services for all of our students, how does this remote learning work for all students in this situation. Also how do we support students with IEPs who have limited independent computer skills and also have parents with extremely limited computer skills.ESS Consultans and ToSAs will coordinate with the teacher to develop and provide online lessons for students. This will meet the legal requirments for providing services under the direction of a licensed special education teacher. When school returns to a traditional setting, ESS will partner with the school to review student data, hold IEP meetings and make a determination of compensatory services. ESS is exploring options for providing alternate activities and other means of access for students with disabilities.

3/20/2020 21:12:21Ruth BaldiviaBoston P8FacilitiesOur custodians received an email saying that they would be open for staff to come and pick up supplies/materials on Monday. It is my understanding that our fabs/discs do not open the front door so they need to contact the building custodian to let them in. Is this correct? If it is correct, can we have our custodian open the building during their typical duty day 7:30-3:30, and should we communicate this out to our staff?When it says Monday does that mean today 3-23-30 or 3-30-2020?See Memo sent 3/24

3/20/2020 16:09:44Dawn McWilliamsFulton Academy of ExcellenceFamily SupportsWhat will our next steps be if we find that teachers are unable to connect with a particular family? If all reasonable attempts have been made (phone, email, student avenues, etc.) to connect with the family, Principals should document attempts and refer to remote learning grading expectations in regards to how a students record is impacted. Pricnipal should inform LCD for additional guidance as well.
43
3/20/2020 17:50:45Kyle HirschGateway High SchoolFamily SupportsWhat is the expectation for staff communication with home, especially with our parents who do not have/check email regularly?I would encourage that staff know how to connect with parents, and use that method to share important messages and in accordance with what the family has chosen or is able to be involved with. The goal at that level is to make sure that families have all the information that they need to make decisions. Additional communication requirements should be set by the principal.
44
3/20/2020 15:47:37Kim PippengerV CourtLeadershipWhat exactly are the expectations for staff to work during this time? If they are unable to work within the schedules created, do they use paid health leave? Flexibilities are being provided to all staff for working remotely. There are expectations for what should be accomplished, but not a specific workday schedule. Recommend extreme caution in creating a rigid work schedule for any staff member working remotely. Health Leave may only be used when the staff member is ill

46
3/20/2020 16:18:35Amy KolquistVista Peak ExploratoryLeadershipCan we still require our grade level teams to hold their DDI and collaborative planning meetings so they have some consistency in any online offerings that are happening and also thinking about how they are looking at student work so they can continue to support? If that is a structure you want to incorporate into your day, you absolutely can make it part of the expectations for how teachers are structuring their time. The challenge will be with the type of data teachers are using since online learning experiences are "optional"

3/20/2020 21:18:14Ruth BaldiviaBoston P8Mental Health SupportI am confused about how our mental health providers (counselors and psychologist) are to be available via google from 8-3:30, but content staff members only have to hold office hours. Do they just stay connected to google all day? I am confused by this expectation.Hangouts will ding if a student is reaching out. This is the way students will get in touch with the mental health professional who would then need to get back to the student so the provider would need to be checking in often to make sure they contact the student and set up a time to talk.

62
3/20/2020 18:02:01Kyle HirschGateway High SchoolOtherIf a senior is off-track by .25 elective credits, does that mean they have to complete ALL of their courses in Edgenuity or just their electives? Does building leadership have discretion to assign students to a plan that makes the most sense for them, whether it include Edgenuity, universal performance tasks, or some combination of the two?At this point, we need to stay within the established parameters. Students who are "off-track" need to complete all course work (excluding CE) coursework via Edgenuity.

I have reluctant teachers who are still in the 1980s and do not have a Google Classroom. Do we already have a "How to set up a Google Classroom" and "How to use Google Meet" videos in our APS system. Otherwise, I am going to direct those handful of people to Google how to set those things up. :)I appreciate the approach of online support for P-5 and the graphic is awesome; simple and easy to follow. Nice work. Bless ya'll for your hard work!Yes, there will be supports for teachers on how to set up all of these things. We know we definitely have some steep learning curves out there. Thanks Lori!

-Xfinity hotspots are available for free if they are located near one. http://wifi.xfinity.com/
-A third option if the above isn't working out would be to contact the APS IT department to discuss other options

If we do not have enough computers for kids, will APS support with this?The OAS communicated guidance around this in an email dated March 20. The district will not be providing any devices to APS charter schools.

3/20/2020 21:14:46Ruth BaldiviaBoston P8Remote LearningSince our youngest learners use the qr code to enter into clever, will these be provided for these students when they come to pick up a chromebook?Right now the IT department is working on the logistics of pushing QR codes for every K-5 student to parent emails. Those details are being finalized and links to school folders with every student's personalized QR Code PDF are being added to this sheet (Column J): https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1eWt5OzWgUzWVT6tydWwEbrUY7UIM2G2QZ76PMJNqX7s/edit#gid=0

3/20/2020 21:22:37Ruth BaldiviaBoston P8Remote LearningAre we able to send home academic guidelines and a note of encouragement in English and Spanish to our families who come to pick up chromebooks. Most of our students do not have computers/laptops at home and this would be a nice way to send home a positive message.Academic guidelines are clarified at the remotelearning.aurorak12.org website that can now be shared in its draft form. The site will officially go live on Mon Mar 30th.
76
3/20/2020 22:15:51Michael AbdaleCrawfordRemote LearningIs it one device per family or one per student. Sorry I think I may have missed this?The guideline is one device per family per school, however, this is at the principal's discretion. There certainly are situations where it makes sense to check out multiple devices to families.

3/21/2020 15:19:04Moran StoneDartmouthRemote LearningHow do teachers support this plan if they are going on a leave of absence?Teachers on an extended leave of absence should not and are not expected to work. Efforts to support the plan should be shifted to other resources within the building and in some cases may necessitate the support of a Long Term Sub

3/20/2020 15:59:28Ruth BaldiviaBoston P8Technical/Hardware SupportI have a small handful of people who are more than willing to support the distribution of chromebooks to our students next week. How do we help with this? It also gives me a chance to be visible with my community. ThanksI see that you have filled out information around the distribution of Chromebooks on 3-26 and 3-27. Please let me know if you still have questions. Thanks!

3/23/2020 11:57:28Kelsey HaddockAurora Quest K8Technical/Hardware SupportWill google hangouts be unlocked? We had it locked due to student misuse.Yes, Google Hangouts and Meet have been unlocked for all staff and students. These are the primary communication tools for teachers touching base with students and principals touching base with staff. Google has made tweaks to them that better minimize bad behavior. For example, when a teacher ends a meet, students can no longer linger afterwards, they are kicked out.

3/23/2020 11:58:29Kelsey HaddockAurora Quest K8Remote LearningFrom a teacher- My parents are all signed up and use Bloomz-I was planning and am using this as my primary launch pad for lessons and communication. Is it okay to use these platforms? In addition, we use RAZkids for reading, Moby Max for writing, and Happy Numbers for Math. All of these are very primary specific and the kids are able to use. Is this okay instead of Google because that doesn’t work for little kids. See communications from LCDs sent on 3/24

3/24/2020 13:21:33Larry IrvinHinkley HSELD SupportWith all of 9th and 10th graders using Edgenuity, how will these lessons be differentiated for ELLs (e.g., ACCESS levels 1 & 2) and for ESSs (e.g., DLC, ILC, etc) for whom Edgenuity would not be appropriate or accessible?There are some supports embedded in Edgenuity; however, this assumes that a students is literate in their native language. To optimize access for students at levels 1-3, the CLDE department is recommending course offering through google classroom so that supports can be provided and accessed by students. Your consultant and TL will have resources to support with developing the google classroom environment. Communication to TLs is going out today.

It will include the master list of the performance tasks along with the course list for teachers to know which courses are PT and which will be Edgenuity.
95
3/24/2020 14:36:21Larry IrvinHinkley HSRemote LearningIf students complete the 4th quarter requirement through Edgenuity or the performance task by April 17, and then regular school resumes, what will instruction look like for these students? Can they be enrolled in another original credit class if needed? Or can they use the time to work on credit recovery as needed?We have not identified a plan for this yet. We will begin having these discussions after we get this plan off the ground. Your suggestion is a good one and will be considered.
96
3/24/2020 22:00:15Moran StoneDartmouthESS SupportA question from a teacher came in about providing paper materials for students on IEPs. How will teachers print/laminate paper for students?ESS will not be providing paper based materials for students at this time. All lessons and activities should be available virtually.
97
3/25/2020 12:39:08Jen MontoyaHinkley Technical/Hardware SupportCan students use their personal laptops for virtual learning? What guidance can we provide to families using personal devices? Yes, and we encourage that! Go to the remotelearning.aurorak12.org website and click any user type (parent, student, etc.), scroll down and you will find at the top of the "Help" section a topic called "How To Use Your Home Computer For Instruction" with guidance on how to set that up. FYI - when a student uses their APS Chrome account, websites will be filtered like at school. This does not hold true if they use Chrome with a non-aurorak12.org account or other browser like Firefox or Safari.

3/26/2020 11:49:45Sue-Lin ToussaintLCDTechnical/Hardware SupportWhat happens for students who are currently out of town but need a chromebook, say, next week? Or new students who enroll? Any student or family who was unable to attend the distribution time this week should contact their principal to schedule a appointment to pick up a chromebook. This was what the draft parent communication said today. IT will still be going to schools next week and preparing chromebooks for these requests. This would apply to new students also - new students should contact their school / principals regarding a need for technology.

3/26/2020 11:55:46Sue-Lin ToussaintLCD-NEOther(For Jenn Sheldon) If a building has an optional book study, would performance matters still apply to provide credit for teachers? An optional book study can be conducted and Performance Matters can capture the credit. Please connect directly with me and we can get you set up. Additional guidance will be coming in terms of site based courses as well. Jenn Sheldon
