Discussion of remote learning opportunities at Keene High School for the 2020-2021 School Year

Show Transcript

we are now recording the meeting tonight is an orientation for the remote learning opportunities at Keene High School my name is Cindy Gallagher and I'm the new principal at King High School and I'm really excited to be working with through this really crazy time I'm going to ask the staff that are here to introduce themselves for the purpose of the recording I can you go first mikesmithdirect struction here cage s thank you Kim Tim Baker director of School counseling Hurricane High School thanks and dance reminder reintroducing yourself again it absolutely good evening my name is Dan Moylan I'm a school counselor Keene High School for the ladder if your last name alphabet roughly CH through efergy depending on your graduation year they weren't asked to be here tonight I appreciate dance stepping out okay so we have a PowerPoint slide that I cannot see you guys with so Kim and Mike if you're going to have to let me know whether I'm moving too fast or too slow cuz when I'm on my screen I can't see everybody else you should be. I'm going into the next slide flexible Pathways to meet your students me creating individual pathway Street student one of the things that has been absolutely amazing and absolutely frustrating on the pill right side is figuring out where remote learning sit within a high school student curriculum and their ability to graduate and I come from a very small world School District where we had to create flexible waste so for me it looks like a giant Tetris puzzle where I feel very lucky I'm well aware of a lot of different opportunities that we've been bringing in to Keene in these last 3 weeks to make sure that we can every student's individualized needs the hardest barrier that I'm encountering is the parents teachers with the parents expectation that the king teachers are going to be the sole source of instruction but I'm going to talk to you about very briefly and I'm going to go pretty quick are all of the possible ways that a student can not all of them many of the possible ways that a student can follow to create a graduation path to get a diploma the first ones obviously live instruction with Keene High School teachers anybody in the remote cohort can attend a live course just by joining the cohort if you want chemistry you reach out to guidance and say chemistry you come in you do your kovats screening you sign in with Miss Ellen at the front door you walk down the hallway to chemistry and you walk back out and you get two days of live instruction in two days of remote instructions for that in in your bell schedule and you work on a bell schedule you'll see that we've had to do that for the AP courses the Cheshire Career Center that's what CCC is and there's a lot of electives where only one single student went into the remote and we saw that particularly excuse me in the art classes one single student pulled into remote for silverscape silver skipping three students from an AP course pulled out Keene High School simply doesn't have the number of teachers to develop or to be able to sustain all of those courses on both to hybrid live sessions and the remote session on another way to get live instruction in the remote session is that we took I think we did 11 or 12 drafts of the schedule and we found every hole that a teacher had in their schedule to regrouping stew to create a set of courses which are instructed fully in the remote setting the freshmen benefited from that the most there were a number of situations in which a teacher might have one cohort that meant that they had an ability to teach on a Monday Thursday live or Tuesday Friday live in the remote setting and we were able to put a number of courses together so the Keene High School teachers are teaching some of these courses so two opportunities for Life Keene High School teachers is a student can come in for single course or a student may have been lucky and gotten a course that was available through a teacher schedule that was the limit that happened with the King High School and I know that we told you about it late part of the reason why it happened so late is that we were working through multiple multiple variation to try and find as many of teachers as possible that were had openings in their schedule so we are with a limited course schedule for the Keene High School teachers and we can invite students in for single classes the next piece was the vix instruction and I know that that has hit this community three times initially all remote was going to be through V lacks and then on the cusp of the 7-hour board meeting classic Buicks couldn't handle the capacity when we realized that we didn't have the capacity to do an entire third high school cuz there's two two alive hybrids and then the third high school we went back to view acts and they said that they would weigh Okemos along with everybody else in line and that we needed to pay attention to their course catalogs and we sent everybody else and no doubt saying if you need live instruction and you didn't get a course from the new excuse me the new ports where I was McKean High School teachers then be lacks with another opportunity to get you live instruction that opening change regularly so you'll go in and look for Algebra 1 today and it'll say close then tomorrow say waiting list and then maybe four hours later it'll say it's open because they are processing students as quickly as possible so in the last letter that we sent you we encouraged you to go ahead and reserve spots if you could we would continue to find something that was more local for you and a number of you have talked with me and said we were on the waitlist it at velox and I said that's okay we can always drop out of you last let us keep building and move forward announce that we've talked to some of the folks about this is particularly Juniors and seniors are dual enrollment with college credits there are a number of opportunities and I'm going to click out to a link I'm going to need talk out loud to tell me whether you can now see an e start page Kim can you see this not yet okay that's because it's on the remote learning how am I going to switch the silver mic Ed Sheeran during a window I'm going to have to figure out hang on one second all right I'm going to keep talking cuz you're going to eat your going to be able to get this link he start instead of online college classes fulfill both college and freshman year of college and Junior and Senior year of high school you would work through your guidance counselor for it and when I we first introduced the East arts classes had started the week of August 28th they've now extended their courses there is an American government course which starts on September 28th that would be the same as high school Civics there is an English composition course that would be one half of a class there's an Essentials of algebra course all of these are starting on September 28th there's a sociology course that is a social studies elective all starting on September 28th so there is the possibility of earning college credits to spill your high school requirements you start as One Source Early College would be going to River Valley or any of the community colleges and when I say going to those colleges in most places that sell so done remotely I'm so River Valley will be starting their second seven-week term some place in mid-october so that's another opportunity to earn college credits while you're looking at a high school opportunity cost for these courses are interesting if parents assign their ask their students to take a science or Technology and Engineering or math class those costs are all free in the early college course the high school is prepared to help families with costs week if it's related directly to the curriculum will be able to support you and again that Science Tech College engineering in math that's called stem that scholarship exist for the early college courses as well and so as parents when you're thinking about these classes counting towards your high school curriculum one of the things that I've heard a lot well I've been in Keene is we have to take AP classes we have to take AP classes the AP class requires you to your student to take another test at the end and to score either 345 and then hopefully the college will accept that score and it will reduce your students need to take credits in the future the same thing can be met through e start and early college because he's college credits actually come in your transcript you'll have both a high school transfer transcript and a college transcript and you just bring the credits in without taking an AP test so that's just something to think about their all right there are other colleges offering similar options I've I've provided links and the links will go out when we stare share the slideshow with you I'm East starting early college are through the community college is there are other colleges that also run a dual enrollment program some other resources that we've talked to parents about what is Extended Learning opportunities you've heard the initials ELO there is a way to replicate current horses and melt the settings we are looking at an alternative settings for those of you that have strings in your on your students backgrounds on the man that Paul is being very very very generous with her time and so we have her regular section we have an additional section that she's agreed to do through the 8th or I time excuse me at the end of the day that will end up being documented through and yellow opportunity so that we can make sure that the appropriate Predator sign if somebody wanted to take jewelry making we could find an artist to work with them and create an ELO contract so those are regular classes that we replicate in an alternative setting are internships RX turn steps are work-based learning Zar all forms of our flexible Pathways to get documented I have them under a yellow or where I'm teasing what that word actually means but these are also additional ways for students to get credits while we're in covid remote place and then finally there's something called edx courses if when you click on this link this is going to take you out to a vast array of courses offered online some of the top universities in the country and they would come in as elective this link will take me I believe you can't see it but I think it's going to take me out to the Harvard edx and if there's there's just I mean there's class after classes they have classes on computer science there classes on language classes on data science classes on business management engineering and Humanities I want to go back to the language peace Thief remote opportunity to do foreign language is really really hard because our teachers don't have it in their schedule and we haven't found an effective platform for it this particular ex has languages in Chinese English ESL Italian Chinese Mandarin Spanish so we could possibly create an ELO using one of these free classes that you would get from a premier College to help your student make the advancements they need so that they can stay on track for their foreign languages some of the other classes they go into business and management they went to engineering and they go into the humanities which includes the arts and history of psychology and section on Shakespeare so as we move forward the last piece that we've added added to our toolbox is something called The Plato courseware if you've been following other schools that have been opening up a number of schools use Play-Doh as their sole experience for remote Play-Doh is a set a remote courses that are supported by credentials staff full High School in a box but it really is self-directed study that has a certified teacher or a certified staff member coming in to make sure you're good to go what I'm going to do now is turn this slideshow over Mike cuz he's going to go through all of the Play-Doh sides with us I am Mike's button Pusher so the slide is still in my command as Mike says to move to the next slide I'll hit the button thanks indeed so I'll talk a little bit then like Cindy said about the Plato courseware option where we're building some of these horses and Cindy also mention this but it's worth repeating that this is really something that allows for self-directed learning but it also supports they provide support for students if they can stop or they need extra help so I'm going to show you what somebody some of the units might look like depending on what options to choose go to the next life Medical Ingo Cindy so lost it completely which is not a problem I can actually just pretend from here Cindy just let me know if you're able to see it not yet says you're presenting but I can't see anything my oh you know what you've got sorry everybody hang tight their looks like so just generally speaking you have free camping in there something called module which includes two things tutorials and in some areas are going to have practice problems there's Mastery test and then there's unit test so that's like a unit but I'm going to break those down a little bit so you kind of understand how is self-directed yet at the same time and provide swords for students to get stuck or we need to help others protest in these units and the pretense that are really to say how much do you know to begin with and if you can demonstrate Mastery and certain skills if possibly you can skip e unit if you knows you're taking a math class Play-Doh and you have a whole unit just on prerequisite skills that you need later on down the road in the course if you don't need several weeks to go through those prerequisite skills if you can show that hey I remember this stuff from previous years I can go ahead and demonstrate that knowledge to you so you can go ahead and and Skip there's no point in just sitting there going emotions if you already know the material that pre-testing is an option in all of the unit these modules in every module with your part of the units are they have tutorials that come with them and these tutorials are great because they provide learning objectives to students so, students going in to a particular lesson I know exactly what I'm going to learn from this lesson is not just a whole bunch of facts thrown at me I know exactly what I'm supposed to do with those facts I know what I'm supposed to learn it was a good way for me to come wrecked my learning and free and to help assess as I go through this is what I'm supposed to be learning how well am I learning it if I need to go back and Andre look at some of the slides that I can do that because I know that I am not quite where are there any objective says I should be and it offers a lot of tools for students to get to those learning objectives something is great in here is the guided notes option so they are our tutorials hear that allow students to read certain things to watch certain videos are sometimes their visuals there's grass so I can watch that and listen to it but then they can also follow along with the guided notes in the guy actually are interactive so as I'm watching of the for example of reading something I'm feeling in the notes and I can go back and access those notes anytime I want to so it's not just this passive thing sound like watching YouTube for example where it's all passive and I'm just watching or letting someone else do something I can actually interact with it and build my knowledge that way and then there were things there to support students within the tutorials there is the option to read out loud to students so sometimes know if it was a pastor to be read sometimes students want to read it on their own time is very helpful to read along with something while someone or something is reading it out loud to you so that's something that can help students understand better you can go back to that a few times really understand the gist of what the reading is I can translate into different languages there's a glossary if you come across not sure of you can look them up right there in the glossary highlighters or math classes in science classes you can use calculators so against self-directed but at the same time as interactive and is allowed students these tools that help them support the learning to help them achieve those learning objectives to those of the module that's like the actual instruction fees and then his math pretest so each unit is broken down into Topic in each table has one of these tutorials that I just mentioned and then intestines on it so it's a Mastery test how well do you understand what we just did so everybody you watch something you read something you listen to something you followed along I know she went back to look at your notes now can you show me you understand it and so you go back and take a Mastery test for that particular topic and we were going to have it set up and still have three opportunities to demonstrate mastery self-directed learning objective is I know what I'm trying to learn if I go through the note and I try to take the Mastery test and I don't do well I have the opportunity then go back relearn it you some of those tools to figure out okay where exactly did I fall short and then I can take that test again if it happens three times and you're still not passing that Mastery tab at that point to have a credential staff member come in and touch base with a student before moving on before you'll come up with some kind of reassessment plan and then move on so what is self-directed but at a certain point it looks like a student is kind of stuck with that self-directed piece and need some kind of intervention that will be built into it as well and then it brings us to the unit test everything in the unit cuz each topic had a tutorial and a Mastery assessment and went with it and now the unit test is the entire unit application and critical thinking that was talk during that unit I like it says he was based on all the tutorials and the great part about it is you get feedback from the other tutorials in the Mastery test out if I had two chances to take a Mastery test and I finally pass it on the second time I learned from the fact that I didn't pass it the first time I went back and say okay I'm not strong in this went back I really learned it and now I moved on because the unit test is aligned to the Mastery test the fact that I learned what I needed to learn to do well in that Mastery test at leading me towards success ultimately on that unit test so everything is scaffolding and everything is aligned very this weekend again and it provides that self-direction but also make sure kids are getting some kind of feedback so they know what they're doing well and what they're not in preparation for this unit test and then for honors classes you're going to have to same type of setup and you'll have those units has been sent the content knowledge application and critical thinking about the honors classes are also going to have these unit activities and really want these are our application students have to take all of the learned in that unit and apply to some real-world situation you can see on the screen I have an example there from a math class writing an exponential model what you see here using that math skill to address the real world application of dealing with credit cards and this particular type of assessment is open-ended so can't be automatically created by computer so somebody Prudential staff member would have to come in I take a look at this rate it and give feedback to the student on that so this is your taking that learning and taking it to that fire level and so on the Play-Doh platform that's what the honors classes would entail they would have that piece we might can you go back to the side for a second think that I think this important is to understand about Play-Doh is Play-Doh is a is a remote high school so what you're looking at is a slide that has a problem but it also has a graphing calculator on there so you're going to see what underneath where it says questions and then it's p equals parentheses 1 + so small I can't say it or something whatever to that whatever power down below there in the grave Graybar is a calculator where a student will actually build a formula so the good news is you don't have to wipe it clean in the end cuz it's a graphing calculator and that's a waste of time students are using a calculator but I want you to understand everything you need within the Plato including your textbook readings are built within the structure of the computer so there's not additional resources you're going to have to go out and purchase every once in a while there may be a unit exam at the honors it requires a student to do a demonstration but it has very clear expectations about what the supplies are and will make sure that people are aware of that as well well before you get to that at opportunity but for the most part it's all mo is this the high school is built into the computer system all right my back to you sorry no no worries thank you and really I was just it's just nuts and bolts now though what I just showed you was how the learning inside the platform which is the most important piece but I will be sharing out information about how to log in working to provide username email there's an option using Google where you can just think it with your essay you Google email address so that's helpful and just in terms of keeping track of your assignments there's a dashboard on here which is really helpful to students because everything is right there for them to see if they can see all the courses are enrolled in the bar so you can actually track. centage of the course that you completed and how much you have left to complete you can see your course grade you can see the pacing so once we set when this particular portend you can see am I on Pace to finish on time and my head and my behind because in a platform like this you would naturally have to follow the bell schedule if I wanted to do all of my math on one day for example just sit down for several hours and focus only on that that's something I can do it so I can create my own the long as I make sure using this tool that I'm on Pace to finish it by the time the course at again that's that individualize piece of candy was talking about before you notify me when assignments are scored if you show me and yeah I think this dashboard is especially helpful for kids you taking several courses and there's a lot of information coming at you from all these different courses and with an online platform I guess there's a lot of moving pieces in life but you have this dashboard where everything is centrally located and very user-friendly and intuitive in the way it communicates with kids about their progress and their assignment that's very helpful can you control again so you can do that for all right I want to grab some of the questions that are happening in the chats just before I do a tour I'm back up to Mitzi Martinez Bohannon from 7:20 to thank you missy that we are we are going to get this information off Kristen Sprague we've gone over how the honors classes happen there are additional assignments that really stretch stretch the students that will be great play certified staff Tony Green the special ed students are going to have a unique platform if it's by the same vendors called exact path and Miss strohschein has the director special ed and I will be meeting with those parents probably at the beginning of next week we're going to get this platform up and running and then we're going to come back around and grab those kids we did find a unique platform that will work specifically for the kids that are at a lower grade level so we can keep them going what is the difference between Play-Doh and Z lacks lacks is a Charter High School anybody can enroll to take a competency a course or a full diploma truview black sand because it's a New Hampshire High School those credits automatically transfer back to other New Hampshire High Schools they are taught by New Hampshire certified teachers but they've it Saturday Michael you have to go in and roll and Wendy lacks offered to be the remote setting for the entire State I don't think they understood how many parents really care passionately enough to stay in the remote setting and I have to tell you something I'm really proud of all of you stood your ground I'm a mom with a senior who I'm sitting in new Newport saying boy what am I going to do so I'm very empathetic to where you are Play-Doh is a remote setting that Keen school will control with certified staff some of the certified staff may not be the high school teachers because we may have somebody who might be a middle school teacher with the certification that we need I'm just saying that that's a possibility class will have a certified teacher to it they will be responsible for checking in on remote Wednesdays they will be responsible for following along each student pathway in the class and they will be responsible for giving the thumbs up for the credit that's earned at the end and there will be varying degrees of support depending on the class and it'll be a certified staff member in the honors classes who does the grading for those assigned so that's Elizabeth question from 7:26 and we're at 7:35 just so we all know where we are in time can we go over at Mariah I hope I'm not butchering names Chaya send we haven't shown you how to login yet I'm about to do that Tony that's me writing to you Mariah Carey thank you all right at Mariah login internet you have figured out how to get in I'm about to show you everything and you are absolutely correct can we finish this session the last session is going to be Miss Baker talk and Miss Baker talking to you about how to pick the courses you want your student to be in as I watch what's happening with covid-19 now we're doing a very difficult build with short amount of time for the fall semester we need to be mindful that we still have a full spring semester also and so in some cases you may want to say I don't want my stew take for core subjects this fall I want them to take two core subjects this fall into core subjects in the spring so Kim's going to explain registration to you but Mr Radnor you were correct right now every student that has been I think it's great English Civ currently registered is that right in the speaker so the 11th graders are currently in the platform cuz we did some experiments with them on Friday they're not necessarily stuck in the class but if you're if you have access and your students in their they're probably enough greater cuz we were playing with English on Friday do parents have separate logins to be able to check their students progress the speaker can you jump in here I'm pretty sure they said yes sure when I talk about the registration process I'll talk a little bit about some of the parent information will asking you to share so that we can provide you with account so that you can help monitor student progress yes alright we're getting more questions here and we still have a couple more slides I want to be mindful of that alright thank you just going to roll the classes will fill the graduation be happy to hold thank you I appreciate that have other schools use this time now at Mars 497 at 7:32 actually yes I've used it for multiple years when I was at Newport and it's actually the same platform that monadnock's offering out right now for the covid-19 on so yes other schools are actively using it for their original credits which is what we're proposing as well as their summer schools and their credit recovery Nicole McGraw not exactly the teachers interactions will be based on the student's needs there will be there will be a certified staff member following each class if assumes cruising through the certified staff members going to say hey great job keep going what can I do if a struggling so after the three nasty attempts that Mr Smith described in each unit of a student has it passed it then we'll be using remote Wednesdays and other additional time to talk to the students to say hey what are you struggling about let me see if I can talk with three that will happen to Google Me to the King High School Google system so no there will be teacher interaction But the teacher is not leading the instructions all right I am now. Santa NORAD NORAD or at 7 students are still thinking about adding a single AP course is there a deadline Beyond which we won't be able to add it I would suggest to you that it needs to be within the next week because this this week we're doing relationship-building if you get past the end of next week then you're going to have missed a number of classes plus the remotes that option is still open for this week so yes that's an easy answer yes I am going to take these last two three questions and then I'm going to go back to the slideshow what is experiencing ongoing of the state owe any key differences any key differences I think I've covered that already Chloe with wheeler wheeler Glasgow stalex students to go to advisory time there a sign teachers will book additional times with them that may be on Wednesdays Bridget that's an independent and I want a dress that we can talk to you privately about that all right so I'm going to go into sharing my screen I'm actually going to bring you to hang on one second share my screen present now share a window go here share go there alright can somebody tell me what they're seeing right now I can see the presentation all right so if I can come in here are you late are you staying at mentum now alright so our account number is SA 2929 this is what a student would type in to get into their classes are students name is Jack what's Jack Frost we just made this up I didn't tell you Jack's password and I got it alright so this is what happens Jack has just signed in I currently I'm over here if you can follow my arrow I have no alerts Jack is enrolled in US history Foundation course Jack is enrolled in an English 11 quarter 1 honors course in Jack is enrolled in algebra be I'm going to open up a couple of courses so that you can see what's happening Jack would come down and click on all activities for math jack up this is an advertisement sorry in orientation video but I'm just going to start so that you can see what happened every student has an orientation video that talks to them about Play-Doh I'm going to let it go just for a couple of seconds this will give you a feel for Play-Doh we can see it Sunday but we can't hear the audio just so you know I'll be there I don't know how to fix that Mike so then I'm coming back to the so I'm back on my presentation where am I right now we see Play-Doh the introduction okay so I we are in we are in this young person screen let's see if I can back out that we saw the orientation where in algebra then we can come down and see a syllabus and then what you see are all of the units of study and Jack has the units of study in order and I think it's for all of our parents to know the way we're building the Play-Doh classes are that we've looked at the Play-Doh syllabus we've gone to the Keene High School prospectus which tells us the content that they're working in there and we have done our best to align them if you were to go to the interactive math program which we call him the teachers have identified from 7 different classes in Play-Doh with the sink of assignments are that they need an imp one two three and four so we really have worked as well as we can to align our version of the Play-Doh curriculum to match what we're doing and I have to tell you part of your frustration is our delay and part of my frustration is it's our delay we're making a commitment to you so that we can have flexible Pathways that these Plato classes will align is closely as possible go to the current instruction that's happening that way if you want to switch back to remote or somebody's in remote and they want to come out to hybrid we have the capacity to do that it's been a lot it takes a lot of time to line up all of these out because they don't apply online up naturally when I did the creative writing course this weekend the Play-Doh creative writing and course had eight elements in it King teaches for those and so I had to spend the time reading all the prospectus for the Keen creative writing figure out which for I needed and then decreasing the the Play-Doh course to match the king course and that is our commitment to you and I think we have no classes left to build in the heifer in English and have her in science we should have those done by Wednesday so I'm going to keep moving along you've seen what math looks like and you can follow along and think about what all the assignments look like and when back to English for second this is the honor section I'm going to go down to all activities and I'm going Mike are you guys able to still see the screen you remember where you went to find them the mark Coinstar put on you don't want to see scroll down 18th century one of them that one try go to unit 3 19th century American realism humor in American real all right hair humor in American realism I want you to understand that there is deep reading in here so every student has to do a tutorial there's a cute little video that comes along I'm going to skip the video and we go into this an introduction if the objective another video skipping through that then we start to go into the readings and you're going to find it instead of you having a textbook in your hand The Narrative is actually in the tutorials so this is a piece that we're working through this is when you can see we're down here in Mark Twain's writing then hyperbole just spoke to me now there's a question students have to write a response this is an honors level Class A teacher will be grading this you can understand that while you may not be physically touching a textbook edmentum and Plato have purchased through however they've done the intellectual property the rights to all of the narratives that they have so your students will be exposed to Romeo and Caesar and Mark Twain and all the great authors they'll be given choices in reading and they'll be moving forward with all the core competencies and standards at cuz this is a line to New Hampshire all right I'm mindful of time I want to make sure that we have time for question so I'm going to turn this back over to Miss Baker who's going to talk about registration it is just past quarter of and just so we don't run out of time for questions I'll be willing to stay on till till about 10 past 8 so it'll give us about 10 minutes 15 minutes for questions can can you grab this do you want to just go to the next by is that just I hit stop sharing sorry Mighty have it right there or do you want yeah I can do it so I'm going to try and I can start before the flight even comes out of the next Friday to talk about and I know that hopefully this will answer some of the questions that you put in the chat is what's next how do we register for a how do we pick our classes how do we make sure that the classes we are choosing a line with graduation requirements so at some point tomorrow night I'll share with all families of Play-Doh course registration form your mom will ask for some very specific information your first and last season's first and last name and then after that what we'll do is we're going to list out each of the different subjects I will be offering and I'll be by department so this is just an example of English and we'll ask you to dance to do is choose the classes they're most interested in taking both spoke of this earlier is there's a lot of opportunity here a lot of great classes will be offering on Blue I be sensitive to the number of classes that you're registering for choosing classes you want to be thinking about what you currently taking in the remote setting I know something they're also registered to take me locks classes and they continue to take those classes as part of first semester course selection and then what's left how many credits are you interested in taking where would those credit all we're recommending 324 credit just as if you were at King High School coming to school that's what your schedule would have as a senior you might have 3 as a freshman sophomore junior you'd have 3 credits and so we'd ask you to select the classes you're most interested in taking and the areas where we are offering honors courses you'll see that there's a box that you took off that says that you are interested in taking a course at the honors level 4 honors credit and so anytime at that's available that will be indicated on this form so just ask you to go through choose your top three classes were going to ask just like we do when we do the course registration process at Keene high or going to ask that you play some alternate and then we work to build your schedule once that is complete so you don't have to build your own classes will put those classes in for you and one says classes are in will send you an email confirming classes that you've been registered for will make sure that you can log in and see your classes so that you're prepared to start classes on Monday and we know that you are about a week into school by the you're starting this so you know what we've talked about pushing the the quarter one date back by a week so that you have the same amount of time as this is the classes that you started this week to finish that we would push the quarterback by week giving you plenty of time to work through the first quarter get acclimated to the classes get adjusted login make sure everything looks okay and then start your classes with support from teachers as needed and I know that was really quick that I went over but basically you're not alone in this process so if you have questions you're not sure what to register for you're not sure what classes you need for graduation just like you do when you lose your classes for Keene High School just like you do choose your classes through the lock your school counselors will be available to help support you I'm available to help support you just reach out and we can help look at that and give you some recommendations are some guidance for that process also I missed him up earlier and I touched on this but the very last question was she won't see on this form yet because we just started to build this form today is that it is a place where parents and Guardians can have their information so that we can upload that Plato courseware So that you can also create an account and then be able to look and see how your student is progressing areas that they're selling at areas that may be challenging for them so that you can help monitor that just you do it to the parent portal so I hope is that when I share this with you tomorrow that you'll work on this this week and hopes that you can return the form no later by the end of the day on Friday over the hills by the weekend you can have your courses set up and you can practice logging in for Monday okay before we take the next round of questions I would like to thank Mike and Kim for you helping presentation and I am going to stop recording the meeting that way we can be more responsive to questions and so I'm pushing stop right now and that will give us a few less than 1 hour meeting for other people to watch thank you for your patience as we got through this stop recording recording will drive a link will be added to the event and everyone in the guest list will be given access
