Superintendent Blog Post - July 22, 2020

Dear Beacon Community:

I just have a few updates that I wanted to share with you.  

Community Zoom Sessions

I wanted to thank all of the people for joining in the zoom session yesterday.  I enjoyed reading the comments and questions on the chat in real-time and after the meeting.  Tomorrow, Thursday, we have a session at 4:00.  I will be covering the same content with some adjustments based on chat comments.  You can certainly attend again but you will see many of the same slides and the same lame attempts at humor.  

If you cannot attend, we will record one of the sessions and post it.  The key takeaway is due to social distancing requirements from the NY Department of Health and Education, we will have to use a hybrid schedule which will be students in school 2-3 days a week and working remotely at home 2-3 days a week.  I get into it more on the zoom calls and we will send much more specific information home about it next week, I just want people to prepare.

Here is the zoom information for Thursday at 4:00:

Parent Survey

We have a brief parent survey that will go out tonight or tomorrow morning.  It will ask people to share any concerns they have at this moment and also to let us know if they are considering (not a decision at this time) the remote option for their children for health or family health reasons.

Diversity Committee Tonight at 7:00

We will provide updates and answer questions on our curriculum work, student talking circles next month, last year’s code of conduct implementation, hiring practices, and the August implementation of the Equity Report Card.  We will meet monthly and explore different topics throughout the year! The zoom information is below:
