Hang on!

Houlton Staff;

As we approach a time of extreme unknown, I want to thank you for your calm and focused response.  It seems as though information changes before we can even deliver it, so I appreciate your flexibility and ability to go with the flow.  Additional information will be coming soon from the district regarding what the online learning will look like - for now, there are some links below to help explain what you'll need to do.  We will be having a staff meeting tomorrow morning to review what we know so far.

Important links for staff:
Presentation from Friday's end of day meeting
Teacher Checklist
On Demand Emergency Education Plan
HO Staff Online Learning Office Hours - 4 hours a day

Questions we are looking into:

• community support for families (food, child care) - I've had a lot of families reach out and ask what they can do - warms my heart!
• device and internet access at home
• staff responsibilities
• building access
• online learning expectations, delivery of materials

Notes:

• Teachers may want to remind families today/tonight to send back materials that the students brought home on Friday that you may need for Monday-Wednesday.
• We are anticipated higher levels of students absent on the days we have school this week.

Thank you, again, for maintaining your focus on kids, and continuing your Houlton "can do" attitude.  I appreciate all that everyone is doing!
Sue
