The presentation was followed by a survey to families regarding their comfort and what they are thinking. So far, about 1/3 of families (78) have responded. Only have a few families are uncomfortable sending their health-compromised students to school in the fall. Overwhelmingly positive responsees thus far - families felt supported and that the conversations have been authentic, not fluffy, with students and families at the center. There will be additional ongoing communication during the summer months.
The school year is wrapping up with students this week and wifll culminate with a drive-through summer send-off.
Mr. Petersen shared that the State Department of Education is issuing waivers for attendance and testing, and pre-closure ADA (97%) will be used for reporting purposes. There has been strong engagngement from students during this time.
Future is now using PayChex for benefits administration to automate and streamline processes while benefit plans remain the same.
School leaders are refining organizatoinal operations structure to ensure we have capacity and talent to be successful.
A small committee wil work through the details of Future next year. Lots of energy around the distant learning and how quests can be used for remote or in-person teaching in the new year.
Summer STEM Camp - End of July - small group proactive health and wellness programs for rising 3-5 graders.
A grant application was submitted to NSVF for $20,000 to provide current K-2 students a Quest box with project-based learning activities to help slow learning loss and keep kids engaged over the summer.
A grant application was submitted to United Way for $17,500 for a Community Impact Grant for Community Schools Coordianator at FPS.
