Superintendent Message – September 30, 2020

Attention Parents of Elementary Students!

I want to make you aware of a couple of changes to the student’s daily schedule that will take effect on Monday, October 5th.

First, student login times in the morning groups will be pushed back fifteen (15) minutes.  For the afternoon groups, their session will conclude by 3:00 pm.  Specifically,

  1. The AM Group start time for Teacher-facilitated Learning* (TFL) has changed from 8 am to 8:15 am.  The morning session will still conclude at 10:30 as it has since we started CDL; and
  2. The PM Group end time for Teacher-facilitated Learning* (TFL) has changed from 3:15 pm to 3:00 pm.  The afternoon session will still begin at 12:45 pm as it has since we started CDL.

All students can participate in either Music or PE at both 10:30 am or at 3:00 pm for ½ hour session.  If a student wanted, they could do both Music and PE each day.  The rationale for these first two adjustments is to maintain a balance of instructional time between the two groups, allow for dedicate time for Music and PE and we have found that starting at 8 am was not enough time for teacher preparation and login routines necessary for the start-up of the school day.

*We had previously used the term “live” sessions which did not fully align to the Oregon Department of Education’s definition.  Teacher-facilitated Learning or TFL is the term used by ODE.

Second, on Wednesdays the “AM” and “PM” afternoon groups’ Teacher-facilitated Learning time will be reduced by 45 minutes.  Specifically,

  1. The AM Group Teacher-facilitated Learning session will start at 8:15 am and conclude by 9:45 am instead of 10:30 am; and
  2. The PM Group Teacher-facilitated Learning session will start at 12:45 pm and conclude by 2:15 pm instead of 3:00 pm.

All students will still be able to participate in Music and PE at the conclusion of each session.  We have learned over the first few weeks of CDL that producing lessons at the elementary level takes a bit more time to plan and modify for virtual/remote learning as does the record-keeping.  Although a reduction in student contact time, we will still be exceeding the required daily and weekly minutes for instruction and provide our elementary staff with the time they need to create and present a quality educational product.

Again, the above changes will take effect, Monday, October 5th.

Thank you as always,
Chris Fritsch

Mensaje del superintendente, 30 de septiembre de 2020

¡Atención padres de alumnos de primaria!

Quiero informarles de un par de cambios en el horario diario de los estudiantes que entrarán en efecto el lunes 5 de octubre.

Primero, las horas de inicio de sesión de los estudiantes en los grupos de la mañana se retrasarán quince (15) minutos. Para los grupos de la tarde, su sesión concluirá a las 3:00 pm. Específicamente,

1. La hora de inicio del grupo AM para el aprendizaje facilitado por maestros * (TFL) ha cambiado de 8 am a 8:15 am. La sesión de la mañana aún concluirá a las 10:30 como lo ha hecho desde que comenzamos la CDL; y

2. La hora de finalización del grupo PM para el aprendizaje facilitado por maestros * (TFL) ha cambiado de 3:15 pm a 3:00 pm. La sesión de la tarde todavía comenzará a las 12:45 pm como lo ha hecho desde que comenzamos la CDL.

Todos los estudiantes pueden participar en Música o Educación Física a las 10:30 am o a las 3:00 pm durante una sesión de ½ hora. Si un estudiante quisiera, podría hacer música y educación física todos los días. El fundamento de estos dos primeros ajustes es mantener el equilibrio del tiempo de instrucción entre los dos grupos, permitir que se dedique tiempo a la música y la educación física y hemos descubierto que comenzar a las 8 am no era tiempo suficiente para la preparación del maestro y las rutinas de inicio de sesión necesarias para la inicio de la jornada escolar.

* Anteriormente habíamos utilizado el término sesiones “en vivo” que no se alineaban completamente con la definición del Departamento de Educación de Oregon. Aprendizaje facilitado por el maestro o TFL es el término utilizado por ODE.

En segundo lugar, los miércoles, el tiempo de aprendizaje facilitado por el maestro de los grupos de la tarde “AM” y “PM” se reducirá en 45 minutos. Específicamente,

1. La sesión de aprendizaje facilitada por el maestro de AM Group comenzará a las 8:15 am y concluirá a las 9:45 am en lugar de las 10:30 am; y

2. La sesión de aprendizaje facilitada por el maestro de PM Group comenzará a las 12:45 pm y concluirá a las 2:15 pm en lugar de las 3:00 pm.

Todos los estudiantes aún podrán participar en Música y Educación Física al final de cada sesión. Hemos aprendido durante las primeras semanas de CDL que producir lecciones en el nivel primario toma un poco más de tiempo para planificar y modificar para aprendizaje virtual / remoto al igual que el mantenimiento de registros. Aunque es una reducción en el tiempo de contacto de los estudiantes, seguiremos excediendo los minutos diarios y semanales requeridos para la instrucción y brindaremos a nuestro personal de primaria el tiempo que necesitan para crear y presentar un producto educativo de calidad.

Nuevamente, los cambios anteriores entrarán en vigencia el lunes 5 de octubre.

Gracias, como siempre,
Chris Fritsch
