Dear Educators,
I join Susana in wishing you and your families the best as we traverse these challenging times. We are in an unprecedented situation as we work to move all learning in our district to an online, remote format beginning
April 7
, and I am deeply appreciative of your patience and partnership.
In
last Friday’s communication
, we shared three options for engaging students in remote learning. We also shared that
March 25-27
will be planning days to support both your decision-making between the three remote learning options, as well as your transition to remote instruction and content delivery.
I wanted to reach out with some additional information that your leaders received this morning regarding these planning days, when we will offer a number of virtual training sessions. These sessions will unpack the options for remote learning, support you in using remote learning tools and resources, and outline best practices. The full schedule of sessions is available
here
. Please continue to work with your school leader to best understand your unique school context and school-based guidance.
To participate in a session, log in to the Google Meet link at the stated time (you do not need to sign up in advance for sessions). Use
this guide
if you need help using Google Meet.
All sessions can accommodate up to 250 attendees and will be recorded and available on our
DPS Remote Learning site
for future reference. This site also offers resources to support you in locating the information you need around remote learning, and we will continue to update it as resources become available.
I know there is a tremendous amount of information to process, digest and act on in an incredibly short amount of time, and I thank you for your continued patience and dedication to our students and community.
Thank you for your continued support of our students and community.
Many thanks,
Tamara
