programs and and reflecting the needs and interests of all of our students and Families let me talk a little bit and just clarify about our distance learning schedule you by means by No Doubt have had some time working with this schedule the week is broken down into three different categories are Monday seminar all students all teachers are participating in a Monday seminar starting at 9 in the morning specifically designed to provide social emotional learning opportunities a time to engage our kids with art with a caring adult on this campus and to provide learning opportunities not only around social emotional but around study habits about using being mindful about their online platform giving them strategies to be successful both here at Monrovia High School in life beyond and so I'm very excited about the first couple outings we've had with our seminar will continue to grow and improve that. Program far Monday the remainder of Monday for our students is an asynchronous learning day meaning this is time for students to continue to deepen work from the synchronous learning that live instruction time their teachers on the other days so Monday is is is a busy day for our kids and we expect them to be working hard to continue to deepen their learning on that Dame Tuesdays through Fridays the morning sun is divided into two parts Tuesdays and Thursdays are even days and 6 days until students to remember that is that Tuesday and Thursday start with a t which is even so Tuesdays and Thursdays are. Is 024 and 6 and 1/3 and 5 meet on Wednesdays and Fridays are early college program meets Monday Tuesday Thursday and Friday in the morning 7:30 to 8:55 so that is in lieu of the student zero and first. Class has weird note we had that by Design and then afternoons on Tuesday through Friday we have time Rees dedicated and specifically set aside for two purposes one is intervention and the second is office hours starting next week teachers will be communicating directly with students to invite and encourage and expect them to attend the Intervention Program the afternoon listen to specifically designed to help support students be successful based on assessments based on their class grades and also specific neso intervention will be in the four core each of those afternoons from 1 to 3 office hours are also an offering an opportunity for a students office hours will happen in alternating times so for example on Tuesday the first session of intervention will be English so that English teacher office hours were Beyond alternating times so it's for example if you're bored teachers teaching and intervention time either the first or the second block of that afternoon time they will be available for office hours and all the other times that they are not teaching intervention let me take a moment and just explain intervention post office hours and what they are office hours are involuntary open door policy where all of our teachers will be available for students drop in and get some extra help ask a clarifying question review the assignment get feedback on on on an assignment that they've already gotten back perhaps take a have a retake test that they needed to make a retake on Rob's to get connected with other students to form study groups office hours is a New Concept for high school students but it's not very is not you for anybody that steps foot on on a college campus and I'll personal story I shared this with dart my students here but office hours was was the one piece or one of the pieces that helps me be successful in my college career when I realized that I could spend time with one of my professors asking questions and getting some additional help that was the difference-maker for me as it as a student and so we encourage kids to reach out and read how to their stick their teachers and ask for help spend some time in their office hours getting to know them and getting the extra help and guidance that debt that they should need students encourage them to drop in and just checking with their teachers we're here for their students we want them to take advantage of that so that's in the afternoon time chunk let's talk a little bit about the distance learning framework make sure that you understand some of the expectations that we have in place for students like when students come and check in with it in their classroom we we will review classroom expectations here are some expectations we want students to be aware of and you parents to be aware of as well is broken into three concepts the first one the one our children to be ready we want them to got to make sure that they know where to find their Zoom likes we want them make sure that they know how to login to the Google Classroom want to make sure that their device is charged and ready to go we want to make sure that their environment behind them is and around them is ready for them to focus make sure that they have a spot where they can set up and work make sure the students have their notes if they need to order the book or the reference tool that they might need to be using for last time and so that's a really important thing we want our kids to be ready and being ready in a distance learning platform looks a little bit different than it does being ready on a on campus the second part is being response in addition to preparing your work ready with your lecture notes or being ready with the material that you've read in prepared for for class we want kids to engage with each other in a in a go to settings. And have them talk with her their shoulder partner or will have them break into small groups we're replicating that very same thing within our Zoom classes teachers will be breaking students into small groups and we want you to be responsible enough to have a Converse tears in the classroom about the content that the teachers working then you and the teacher working on we want you to engage with your classmates want you to engage with the with the content material responsibility comes with also I'm trusting you to do your own work we don't want to have those conversations about is this your work or someone else's work was with your name on it we want you two to own the material that you're doing students and I think that responsibility factor is an important piece and be responsible to speak up when you need assistance ask for help when you need it send us an email give us a phone call the your ear teacher office hours responsibility is an important piece for for for all learners and finally being respectful recognize that we're all learning the new platform a patient with with each other patient with your classmates be patient with your teacher if they're having trying to pull up the Right image to to screen share be patient with the process is we're going to get better at it already in in a week and a half about zoom in Google Classroom than it ever did before and the students that I've been working with I've had this great chance to teach three periods of of drawing right over the last couple weeks and so they've been very patient with me I really appreciate that also recognized that the chat feature in Zoom is a public forum is recorded the chat that there's a record of of what you post in chat connected to your name and like you can you say something in polite to someone standing right next to you if you have something implied to say don't put it in the chat if you have ever concerned that something that you need some extra help with send a private chat to your teacher recognized this is a community of Learners and that your words are powerful so we want you to be ready responsible and respectful at all times as you would hear on campus as you we would want you to act that way in a spot for me as well this online etiquette commonly referred to as netiquette has a Justice summary I want to make sure that you understand that are Zoom classes in our Google codes are for us there for you as a student and us as a as a teacher so we want you to keep those private that's not for you to post on social media that's not for you to 2 to share with someone else side of our of our school environment resume bombing that we've experienced and we're addressing happens when some of those codes of Zoom cousins and Google get shared with the wrong people someone can get in and and and hack the system but that's we found it that's a very small percentage so the first best for prevention and protection is for students to hold on and keep those Google codes private that's between you your family and us here at school is not to be put out in the social media reminder the zoom chat as a public forms of be mindful Ramona Lisa said don't say anything if you can send me nice Kirk don't say anything at all and that would go for chat room as well breakout room protocols don't forget a breakout room is just like your classroom whether your teacher is right there or not we know what you're going to be be cognizant and be aware of that and lastly we was weed we asked all students to turn on your camera during your Zoom classes smiles when when I stand up a group of children speaking or group of adults or in classroom I can look at and I can see heads nodding and I can see acknowledgement that that people are attending to my to my words it's really hard to do that when your screen is off hard to see that when when when you might see just dis Imaging in front of somebody so we want you to have your cameras on we understand that there might be a technical difficulty or or you might have be experiencing some issue with your web we understand that just reach out to your classroom teacher send them a chat send them an email let them know so they can work with you some technical issue will reach out to you and I and your family to we'll see if we can work through that but your camera on shows us that you're part of our classes because you chose a secure engage with with the learning so that's an expectation we have for everybody as well okay I'm going to hand it over to mr. Wallace and talk a little bit about essentially important he's for us here at Monrovia High School getting you engaged with each other and with us lyrics so anyway mr. Thank you sir thank you thank you thank you thank you for being here this is certainly different social media that are shouting out High ICU and it is really different I guess there's bonuses you guys could be watching this and eating on your couch instead of being told not to eat in the auditorium so that's one positive for you do you know if you have to get up and sneak out of a teacher's presentation today there's the one that's going to know that you're speaking out and won't hurt anybody's feelings so you know we got to find the positives and all of the negatives that were surrounded by I get to talk to you guys a little bit about what we call log cat pride and the student Connections in the Wildcat Way my job on our campus is the connect your kids and and to seek out for 1600 to make sure that everybody has a place that everybody Arthur School their second home and that no one ever wants to leave that is what I tell people no matter where I go people say what do you do that is what I said I create a school that no one wants to leave I'm surrounded by a staff and Anna castration in a community that all believes them and so if your student is a student at Monrovia High School you are part of our family we don't take that word family lightly at all and we don't just throw it around when you're in family your blood and in high school we bleed green and white scrolling through as the climate and culture coordinator what my job is I oversee activities of the activities director and oversee the red program evil Ink Crew and all of those organizations tied together are responsible for creating the things that connect our students to our campus outside of the classroom the Stafford campus are responsible for goes on in those classrooms but as you guys all know there's so much more to school then just what happens when you walk in the door of classroom and so the hardest challenges that we faced since March 13th is how do we keep kids plugged in how do we keep kids connected to their campus connected to their extended family when we're isolated is so one of our goals is the continue the thriving Club environment that we have on campus we have over 50 clubs on record and some are more active than others right now and we are in the process of creating a virtual Student Union that will go live next week where every club that we have on Camp will be hosted on this one site that you can click on and get information on club meetings and announcements and service opportunities the last week of September we will host our our usual Club Rush week normally were out on campus were having food or not time now we're going to do it online and it's going to be weird if it's going to be different but you know what it's going to be great because that's what we do we create greatness on on campus and I want an echo with Mr McGinnis said at the beginning of his talk students aren't connected success is unlikely what are the connected to an adult to a teacher to add administrator to a custodian to a counselor they need to be connected to a doll Southern campus but they also need have a purpose and it has to be a purpose Beyond I want to get a 4.0 or I wanted to I just want my grades because it's no longer just about grades anymore and as the world continues to change it evolve that's going to become more and more every and our job is a school is going to become more and more about creating citizens were ready to take on the world and a much greater fashion than ever before the surrogate if you can hit that next flight for me cuz I don't think I can do that turn something off this is a partnership and and that's how we want to look at this I had a great time with the leadership kids last week all of our staffers sending his pictures of there their stay-at-home workstations with our classroom or stations and you know I'm biased so I won't lie to you this is like 20-30 on this campus I love the people that I work with and the commitment that they have to this and trying to do everything they can for your stew is amazing to me and I just want to continue to emphasize any chance I get to talk to parents whether it's in this form or it's over social media or through bumping into you at Target it's a partnership that we are working on together it is a jerk that were taken together and let's be real it's really hard and I think it's really important that we acknowledge that anybody that says this is super easy as lying to your face this is not easy at all I want to acknowledge your front it is hard for parents and it's hard for us and teachers but the group it is hardest on is the kids we have to keep the kids front-and-center for the conversation of how do we walk beside them on this until we get back to where we belong which is back on those campuses which is back in our classroom back at our Stadium back in our gym back in the auditorium and back together physically as a family I think there's one for me this should be getting other two more for me set a time to mourn thank you we have had a ton of requests about Spirit Gear freshman parents shout out to you guys who have been sending me messages you don't rejuvenate advice old people wanting to buy Spirit Gear and so the web store is up and driving if you go to the website there's just a button you can click on you don't have to
