Up Close and Personal

Even though our district teaching staff is involved in “Distance Learning”, they and all of our support staff is up close and personal!

Our teachers come to their classrooms every day, preparing a learning environment that is much more than a laptop with a screen. Our teachers are doing everything possible to create a learning environment

that is engaging and interactive. They are using multiple devices, multiple cameras, and various screens to take advantage of all of the tools necessary to give our students the best learning opportunities under our current constraints.

Our support staff comes to work every day with open offices that continue to engage and communicate with our parents and community to make sure our student and parent-school experience are effective and positive. We have staff members who also safely visit homes to help verify students are online and registered.

Our grounds department continues to do a great job of keeping our grounds aesthetically attractive and clean, especially during a heat wave.

Many of our support staff continues to come to work every day to garner all the supplies and resources to ensure that we all work in a sanitized, clean, and safe work environment. We cannot take for granted everything that has been done to ensure this on all of our campuses and facilities. We can confidently say we have a safe work environment.

These people are not at a "distance" but are up close and personal to do their work to prepare for the time when students are no longer learning exclusively from a distance. The good news is the State has just recently allowed our staff to begin to work with small sets of students to receive in-person targeted, specialized support and services on campus under specific safe conditions. 

Even though our students are at a distance, our staff's hearts are closer to the hearts of our students and parents more than meets the eye.
