ES will be because k-2 are in the buildings.

We don’t. We’ll be practicing with technology we have never used before. We didn’t need those teacher work days (asynchronous days for the kids) we got a few months ago (supposedly to prepare for hybrid, but there was no real plan to go in at the time). Now that it’s a reality, we definitely need a teacher work day to figure out a model that brand new to us and learn the new technology that comes with it.

Not your fault at all but what really sucks is that at some schools that technology hasn’t even arrived. We asked some questions of teachers yesterday and were told they were still hoping that things like classroom cameras would arrive but that all kids at home and in class should be prepared to have a book and be patient.

Hoping you actually are learning today and feel prepared, for your sake and that of the kids.
