things will help us translate for our families who speak Spanish and mandarins that they can also call on with our presentation I'm going to turn this over to Eva right now for a few little instructions and then we will get started grieving family your screen you should see a globe icon in English for English I can go ahead and sweat that now if you need an interpretation or translation in Mandarin Chinese or Spanish Mandarin and Chinese to select those options thank you Michelle thank you to all of our families who commits a question Knightstown how receive those questions and categorize them into a series of topics I wish and if we could move to the next line thank you the Crush Village of the following topic areas Virtual Academy daily schedule and better time counseling curriculum and instruction in original setting going to class attendance and check activities and Athletics safety and communication I'll do tonight is all the questions of doll under these topics will be have been compressed as we had like multiple daily schedules when one question or two on that on the schedule that every question that was asked will be covered in our press station tonight just so I can see all 70 of them go through otherwise would be here all evening so we will address all these questions on each of us will take a category of part of the category we will read the question and then we went respond in one response that addresses all the questions that were listed we are hoping to keep the meeting to an about an hour but given the number of questions we might go over just a little bit I asked for patience with that but we do I make sure that we address every question that has been asked of us and so with that I'm going to turn it over to miss Shen to talk about the Virtual Academy daily schedule okay so with regard to the virtue Academy daily schedule there are three questions of the first was what time does school start and end will students from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. and will students get breaks during class in between classes did you look at the Virtual Academy schedule here on the side you'll see that it's a block model on Monday Tuesday Thursday and Friday students will be. And then their horses at the start of the day if you're stood Casio. They will have a 45 minutes. With a 15-minute transition before first. Your first third and fifth. Or 90 minutes long and yes they will be logging in on their own and there will be a 30-minute live instruction and then they will stay on. You'll see after. One there's a 20-minute transition before. 3 and then a 45 minute lunch before. At the end of Academic School day the students have 55 minutes of independent work time they can work on their own or they can actually access their teachers teachers office hours the week that Monday and Thursday are paired with. 1 3 and 5 and then Tuesday and Fridays are paired with periods to foreign Wednesday is our set a time and I will explain that in a slide further back and then students at the in the afternoon from 12 to 2 or supposed to work in independent work and that is on their own they're supposed to treat the second section is dedicated to embedded time there were several questions and your three number one is what is embedded time what happens during embedded time can students move to different classes during embedded time set a time in the virtual environment is a little bit different than what you might have experienced in person last year is it occurring every Wednesday from 9 to 9:30 will be dedicated social emotional Wellness teachers will check in with students and engage them in activities that promote social emotional and mental health is some guidance Wellness coordinator mr. Burrito the next part of that time will be dedicated to academic intervention the schedule rotate between periods on one Wednesday and periods to four and six on the next Wednesday teacher to work with struggling students to provide additional academic support students will not necessarily choose which class to move to teachers will invite them if they're struggling in the class if students want to ask Jen questions they also have the option to seek out the teachers during office hours at the end of every school day we're not going to counseling and we're going to go back to thank you Miss Jen also quite a few questions came up regarding schedule changes if my child schedules and correct how do we change it and what should my child do if you signed up for a zero. But it didn't show my schedule all the information regarding schedule changes is located on the Gabrielino website request a schedule change through Friday August 21st but in order to request a schedule changes for quite sure. is missing a class and there's a hole in their schedule if missing a class if it feels graduation requirement is missing from the schedule is Susan wants to change an elective course a student had a d or an F last year and has been assigned to the same t-shirt if a student's request needs any of those four criteria and they are they are able to make a schedule change it to do so they would need to put in the request on the Google form that is located on the website and also I was that address to Naviance transcripts will the school accept unofficial transcripts for summer school courses let's go quit school office is closed what is the process for submission of unofficial transcripts transcripts for summer school students get a photo of their unofficial transcript they can scan a document they can do a screenshot and send it into to their counselors by an email we will share those compare all the information we receive in The Unofficial transcripts we will compare those transcripts once we receive them so for now to make sure that we can get going with our classes and our schedules please make sure that students send at 7 animations of their email before we move forward I'm noticing that I just want to point out to everybody tonight that we will not be addressing questions in the chat room tonight picture was supposed to be disabled but we will do is ask on the head of IT mr. Chow to capture those for us and we will put up a HEPA Q on the website addressing those questions and I just want to make sure that we can get through the presentation tonight and and I hold you to do you want to be on Spike Lee Elsa realignment this year due to budget cuts and the movement of one of our account to the wellness center coordinator position we needed to change our number of academic counselors from 5 to 4 and as a result of that we need to realign the alphabet among those were counselors based on information from the counselor we created a case those that were equal and p**** was possible among the counselors what happened with that isn't some students have been with her counselor for three years but they're seniors were moved around what is he mad about well I got moved and how can I go back to my to my counselor if I have a special relationship and I go back to my counselor especially if I'm a senior and I'm getting ready to apply for college so the answer this point is that yes we are going to take that into consideration I'm right now are Cancers are inundated with schedule request and transcript checking so on August 28th or they will come together and they're going to look at their seniors and make some changes at that time so it were will still emphasized balance but as much as we can while new students who would you have that special relationship with a counselor in the council's counselors will be able to speak to that we also have some questions regarding AP and honors placement requirements for enrolling in AP honors class if a student meets requirements can I request a schedule change answer you still join CSF in any chance and we'll awards for last year be distributed requirements for enrolling in an AP hi scores are set by the department and each course has prerequisites of students must fulfill typically enrollment and AP and honors class takes place in the spring when students request the courses that they would like to enroll in at that time names of the seven students are given to the teacher who teaches AP course and based on the prerequisites the students are admitted into the course often times we have too many students for particular courses at the waiting lists are created then again that's bae on the criteria that is established by the department and they're there a prerequisite courses typically students do not change schedules going to AP but if there's room in the course we will we will consider that will need to contact the AP teacher Itachi AP teacher to see what is required of them to enter the course at this late date please keep in mind that there if there is a waiting list for the course this to put at the end of the waitlist is just on the way will have priority before or the schedule change first yes you can still join BFF and NHS CSF is the California scholarship Federation and NHS is a National Honor Society and yes even though we're in a virtual and by will be given the opportunity to join these to honor association we will put out information by the weekly bulletin post on the website user social media Outlets to get the information out to see when the time is appropriate doing that the first few weeks of school but typically wants to get in December or September and October we will be addressing a membership for Susan so it's really important they keep an eye on all the different station channels for that information will awards from last year be distributed to students this year awards are given out last year were primarily for seniors and those have been distributed some awards that still may not or still may be out there may not have been just might be athletic award and if we do have yes we will find a way to get those two are stupid I'm due to the closure school last year we did not hold a Renaissance assembly which is typically when we honor or knowledge and honor our honor roll students and other students of the year because we did having somebody last year we do not have those Awards hope best if everything goes well with the pageant that we will be able to hold as simply again later this year but again it will all depend on what happens with the covid-19 long term effects of virtual academic or Virtual Academy learning and future course placement and universities view my child's Grand transcript do they consider a virtual courses equal to face-to-face courses when considering admission but we do know that virtual learning will have an impact on student learning by the virtue of not having each and every single class the way that were used to it we know the gas can occur so see perfectly roll a die hard on this is addressing what the scouts are and how we can close this gas right now the learning the learning continuity and attendance the district is working on will address those issues and the steps that they were before all the closures occur to you that it is certainly on our Radar Radar in terms of course placement future course placement high school courses here but at the high school no virtual learning will not impact the students or keep them out of those courses as long as a student is pooping in the work class requirements and expectations of a class have the appropriate grade students will be able to enroll in the courses that they would like to enroll in while they are here at Gabrielino High School in terms of colleges and universities and whether or not admissions will be affected by the virtual academies at schools all over the country are participating in answer is no in universities are very much aware of what public schools and private high schools and they don't want to do anything that can hinder as soon as the opportunity to enroll at the University of universities are accepting credit for the work that was done last spring I'm universities are also looking at the courses that we are offering and as long as we maintain the body's and the criteria that are outlined in a certain courses or students will be fine as I mentioned in the first part of my response is very important that students make sure they're taken ranch horses that they are playing themselves in those courses their patients of those courses of as long as they do all of that they should be fine in terms of applying to the college and universities of a choice I do have you met highly recommend however families look into the colleges universities that their child is interested in just to make sure that there is not a different policy that maybe we are not aware of a we are very familiar with the policies of the UC and CSU system how much is a swell but it's always a good idea to take a look at what's on those University in College website because things are changing. So it's always a good idea. and with that with a crick in the struction I'm going to turn this back over to Mission Shrek in curriculum and instruction there were several questions the first question was how has the faculty been prepared deliver effective and Equitable instruction teacher has been trained to provide virtual instruction in a 90-minute block and what is the curriculum for the virtual the online Virtual Academy courses understand Equity will need to frame construction especially as we enter into the season of virtual learning the district standards are they design lessons within the parameters of virtual learning and the Virtual Academy schedule we know that adjustments to be made to teach on a block schedule and we're planning to provide opportunities for collaboration does respectively mean the same as in person learning and the curriculum will be adapted to the virtual setting the next question is teachers provide the guide their students through the basics of the probe they will be using and how to engage in lessons and learning online encouraged to clarify expectations for Behavior participation and communication the next question is how would the ghs administration ensure that teachers are interacting with students via zoom in each class. All teachers will be asked to add administrators to their Google juuling as a measure of accountability once the school year is underway next question is what are the expectations for students for independent work between 5 and 3 p.m. Tuesday Thursday and Friday 2 hours are provided schedule do students log themselves into and out of classes do they need to be visible while in the zoom setting yes students will need to log in and out of Zoom classes we will be asking should be visible during the session and to treat each 90-minute block. As if they were in a physical classroom the last question pertains to special special education excuse me and I'm going to go ahead and transition this to Mr Janikowski thank you Michelle in the needs of special education students be met review the accommodations and modifications for their students with ice if it ditional support is needed teachers will utilize the intervention time on Wednesdays to meet with students to provide an additional support students have been assigned to their case carriers for the first 30 minutes of embedded time these carriers will then have that time to work on specific areas of need that the students are struggling in it under student attendance if it's student cannot log into a class will they receive unexcused absence and do I need to report my child's absent from class or from the school day and the reason yes if your child needs to be absent from school please report their by contacting the attendance office as soon as possible is currently working on protocol Adelaide to State guidelines and Ed code for attendance during the online Virtual Academy more information will be provided through schools website in the district website as well as social media channels grading under grading if it's student falls behind in their work will that be reflected in their grade it's important to know that distance learning and learning from the spring will be different from the Virtual Academy in this new school year students will be responsible for the work that is a lot assigned to them if they do not engage in Virtual learning and submit assignment it will be reflected in their grades if it's student is struggling how will they receive support to ensure that their grade will not go down the academic intervention provided on Wednesdays during the second part of bedtime is specifically dedicated to provide support for students who are struggling with that said students will also need to learn how to advocate for themselves by seeking their teachers out during office hours or through email correspondence or to make sure that they are getting the help that they need in a timely manner I will now turn it over to Vince Lopez assistant

Athletics in extracurriculars Howell PE classes and athletic conditioning work in a virtual environment if a student is part of a club team can they count that the PE clock he teachers was Zoom with

a new teacher for their courses Zoo intercourses yes it's 10 can opt to remain fully online in the Virtual Academy the district is currently working on this issue staff is working on a method that will allow the students to login to the live lesson however it remains an additional technology the district is exploring those options along with the other districts in the process we do not know how long will it take to acquire the other option being discussed is it developed the schedule to include a. A virtual construction the parent survey indicates over 50% of our parents are often have their child remain in Virtual attack at so it isn't it is an issue district is very much aware is important enough to school and we need to close Julia kogan operate or surge the difference is more prepared to transition virtual alarm box spring and in preparation this summer to help make that transition smooth ER in what ways and how often will a ministration communicate with care will a car go after parents informing them of when and how going back to school work information on the website on

starts on Monday will be sent on Friday instructions on what to do and what to expect in the first day of school will be posted on the ghs website and will be sent to students do Navien now I'd like to turn the meeting back over to miss Shanghai mer write that went a lot faster than I thought what I'm looking at the time and quite surprised actually given that I do want to stick to the 7 and time but because we have extra time I am going to look at some of the questions in the chat room and so is this your principles I may throw some towards your way to paint the topic is so just give me a moment when I go back in one of the first couple questions that came up in the chat room was addressing the cheap and that if kids are expected to be on find the teachers are four and a half hours what are we going to do about that one sure I think we are aware and will continue to talk to the staff about obviously 90 minutes is difficult person setting 90 minutes in a class three classes a day and then sitting in front of a computer is very very make sure that your teacher asking them for awesome Boys 2 that's the teacher that they themselves might need to go to another it is a work in progress never gone to a full Virtual Academy before and so I think we will begin this way and then we will make sure to get feedback from parents as normal as possible that we are connecting with our students and making sure that we have high-quality instruction and we put that in front of students everyday thank you Miss Shen what's a question about Mandarin one that we had some freshmen students who had requested Mandarin why but we're not able to enroll the other freshmen students were and so what was the criteria that was used to determine that placement unfortunately we only have one Mandarin teacher and she's actually teaching a classes and so and they're all full and Samantha and one is definitely full and so what we had to do is we had to look at the Freshman schedules and would have got to completely blown up Mandarin Wonder offered the option of moving to Spanish and how easily it was to move around those schedule other factors may have been playing and so I would strongly suggest that you talk to your counselor and the council be able to fill you in and why your particular should may not have been selected for the management Lockport there's another question we have about being visible and it being visible mean that we said the students need to be seen PlayStation have a camera on it is a good idea to have a camera if you're all of the devices that have been distributed by the district to have cameras we do know that some students may not be comfortable invisible on cam that was why not what they're trying to be visible the reason that we are requesting the visibility and use the word processor Pages we can just see how things play out what are the problems you ran into in the spring of her students were not visible teachers cannot tell this dude is still participating in the class for disability just look around the classroom and noticed Who's involved engagement was not having disability on the screen allows them to also determine that and they're working in a virtual setting so that's the reason why we would like her students to be visible when they're working live with a teacher message yesterday in a meeting yesterday I'm not sure which one it was but a bad Google meet and that the use of Google meet instead of using zoom and could be clarify clarify that since you seem to be a security issue popularity of Zoom has increased within the last few months I think the district has looked into that and actually we licensing with zoom and so it increases the functionality capacity the teachers can use so at this point we are starting it depends on what the instruction I know that teachers are also using a program that we have licensing for called Skies learn so is it going to be essential for students and teachers to communicate back and forth in terms of what they are using condition that wasn't around technology if they incoming freshman checked out of Chromebook at Jefferson is there a need to return that and check out a book to check out what I would do is I would honestly bring that to our next Wednesday's makeup day and then we can actually talk to the site to make sure that we are aware of which device that you have just as a check in but at this point I think encourage sgusd students make sure that in terms of scanning it a student now I can really know we can come from that when you come in on Wednesday you could also shoot me an email and then I can make sure to take care of that I'm going to give you one more and then I'll pick on somebody else students know how to zoom in on Monday okay that's a great question the teachers are going to be encouraged to email information to the students are also going to be Google classroom in the Google Classroom that information should also be there and then as a last measure you can also we're also going to teachers to make sure that that information isn't schedule you should be able to see a website and so that will be the area thank you Michelle mr. Chen's house key we have a question about 504 plans will they be treated the same as IEPs I'm sorry I missed you he's trying to log onto won't have a visual but he may be able to do this hello I'm just 504 will be handled similarly to IEPs however right now we're currently working with student Support Services District truly iron out how that is going to look so you know certainly eye peas will be held virtually and I would have to imagine and I know we're moving in that direction that 504 words will be he'll be exact same way with the counselors thank you Mr Lopez we have some questions regarding textbooks and yearbooks so if a senior denied that our students are singing and I pick up a year I sure can they do so and how are students getting their checks books text books will be if the seniors will come tomorrow and they can pick up their text next Wednesday will have to make up if they need to exchange textbooks to change the class think they can make that that switch or they can come back and they can pick up the books that they need because we missed the original date hotspot in Columbus will also be available at that we also have a list of the students who did not receive their yearbooks at the end of the year and we're Distributing those as well so they can come to that distribution if they don't need to come into the campus to get the textbooks it'll be at the table before they entered the school and then line was out okay and I'm ashamed to mention to make up days for textbooks sure the make of the first make of day is going to be next Wednesday August 9th information about how each grade level is going to be great level there are other makeup days that is once we completed that day and we're going to figure out the other two days based on how many other students thank you it's an unpleasant what you required to wear the standard Gabrielino PE uniform for virtual PE no they just need to be dressed in appropriate clothing for activity so it don't have to have it filling out a short or top it just mean not to be a gavel emoji shirt it just has to be something that they can move in and that is in that plastic piece of clothing reminder jacket. Clothing is there a dress code we expect students to abide by the same standards as we would expect on the campus because it will be a visible component instruction yeah we would ask students at the buy by the dress code that we found place and that students are dressing and I'm prepared for instruction of that that day so yeah they should be in their pajamas and they should be dry as if they went to school thank you miss you in requesting a couple families are struggling with the embedded time schedule and I know that we have the staff and confused by that at times to would you mind no problem happy to let me just go back to that okay so if you look at the chart here embedded time is a 120 minute lock there's two areas of focus and the way that we design that is based on state requirements the state of asking us to report on how were offering social emotional support our students and then we're also being asked to offer tier 2 academic special accommodations students etcetera the first Focus area is 9 to 9:30 so I'll the during that time students will be and they will be asked for the full 30 minutes to stay within that car it will be a little bit we want to make sure that that's going to be part of our destruction of the second part of embedded time is the intervention this is going to be struggling students first of teachers are going to be inviting during class sell your student. Invite you to join me in time to wake him up with you on this question teacher or contact let them know hey mister I actually go into him that it's in better time with you during intervention ask you some questions and then you can work out with the teacher teachers are really thinking about how to reach out to her and there's another and another question that a time is are the teachers teachers are involved in a social social and emotional well-being are they sites for counselors I know and you know that those are the same questions that we're getting somewhere teachers but what I would say is that how the question is how do we address those Needs school wide and I think the only way to do that is to do at school so it's not to say that they're going to counseling is going to be activities to check in on everyone activities or curriculum that will be shared by our Wellness coordinator for social social worker and they will provide some questions or some engaging discussion just to Think Through maybe relationship a great news thank you I miss your Lopez if for PE Should students go outside to do the activities in Virtual Academy is it going to need to be in a space where they can move and have enough space to be in until directions outside in and ran inside it's going to be available so the teachers world will get a feel for what type most of the students will have but they are going to need to be able to move in different directions so I outside would be idea on that would be preferred but that that will need to be working if that's not available thank you I'll give us a question about ID photos I'll go ahead and take that one we had originally scheduled to have ID photos taken during our textbook distribution which is occurring all of this week Bishop based on parents insurance and also just given the situation with the of the virus right now the current situation of the virus always offers the best interest to help interest of everybody to cancel The Taking of ID on Adele's create a little bit of station for students because the ID photos other than for seniors service the photos in the yearbook we are so going to have your bug there was like I saw some students who are concerned are still having in your book this year but how we take photos is going to be a little bit we're looking at the different options is looking at the possibility maybe selfies of substituting for photos this year we hope to still take ID photos at a later time we know that we have until after the first of the year deadline. Pages on however it will depend on the virus so depending on how guidelines and how are flu season progresses will really determine when we do that another question which was what is the soonest time frame at UC students return and in-person learning I really wish I had an answer for that there's nothing more that I want than having that our campus in our classrooms and doing the activities however when it happens is really going to be dictated by what happens with the virus if the numbers continue to go down and we reach the level that takes the county off of the monetary system length of the Mantra list well then be able to the district will be able to consider moving to the hybrid model but there's a lot of pieces that go into that there's Public Health guidelines to have to be considered that 14j being off the monitor number of items that are elements factors we can go that route so I really don't want to say if I were they well maybe not so many weary an optimist and hopefully say hopefully before that but really it's going to depend on the virus and how the virus tracks in the county before we'll know when we can come back yes. Go ahead I just wanted to jump in I saw it wasn't missed I know I saw a question about testing or State Testing PSAT sat anarchast or S back those tests will be occurring but please be you know we know that the School site will be reaching out to you to the students and to the parents to let you guys know when exactly those dates will be and of course the procedures and protocol that day that we will be following what guidelines from our district and from the college board and how those tests will be offered thank you mister Giselle Ski Apache questions questions when is cap and gown photos of we're not able to do cap and gown photos typically when that's taken of their is down that are shared by geographer I'm given the Dubai especially not having any equipment or any material shared from person to person we knew that was going to happen this year by virtue of the virus I'm also there's a question about whether a refund if he had the yearbook is not is no we will not be giving refunds but I will also say that I'm very very confident at the yearbook will be at equality staff and are you able to advisor or adviser has won multiple Awards are there books that he is overseeing so I am not worried about the quality that might look a little different because we're going to have to rely possibly on photos being submitted for my student so from that it'll go different NASCAR truck advisor that he's not going to put photos into the yearbook that are blurry or can't be seen or the subjects too far away I'm in selfies are submitted he won't release guidelines staff overly skylines ahead of time what you need to do for submission of pictures of the pictures all the sets of guidelines will be given so that students know what to expect I'm going to take a quick look unexcused absence Jeff kasky there's a question about the same can't login did you explain an excused absence piece again yeah with with her in regard to students not being able to login a teacher might not no really the reason why a student is not logged in and at some point they probably will Mark the student absent right there's going to be different circumstances you know multiple students who may not be able to log on for particular reasons for the most part what we want to say right now is we're going to look at it kind of in a case-by-case scenario certainly we're understanding when it comes to connectivity issues Wi-Fi going out in a home stuff like that but certainly we will investigate the situation and we will Rectify it as soon as we've determined you know the the facts of the incident in order or the details behind the absence but just know that we will take the time to look into those circumstances thank you emission could you speak a little bit too on the makeup days from quite a few questions and chat box about the makeup days for textbook and Technology distribution to our so question about freshman students in freshman students were supposed to come on August 19th we will be sending out that information Miami-Dade tomorrow if a student can't come at their assigned time when is the best time for them to come and they come earlier so the earliest time is 12 p.m. so I would say that you know we we obviously want to accommodate and make sure the students get their book we have to make sure to fit it within that time window and we are trying to be thoughtful about distancing and making sure that you know we have a certain number of us students on campus and not to see that number so that's kind of why the it's fine with broken out by alpha or come closer to me 30 or so just to make sure that they're making sure that and if they don't have technology and I need to start class on Monday what's the best thing to do so I would as if they're not able to come this week and they have to come next Wednesday I think we know we need to be flexible during this time so they were adjusting into the Virtual Academy I know there are a variety of needs in a tissue difficult to have everybody on Wi-Fi that make up day supposed to be in the class but I just Jeff kasky appearance Hall if your child is sick how do they report an absence and they report the reason for absence what you're going to do is obviously do the parents to do what they normally have done in the past contact our attendance office we will have attendance clerk working here site and Anna broad but please do it that way thank you I do want to respond to but what a message just came up without the link that goes out when I do the phone calls I'm going to email at the Cavalier are at s u s t u s I'm I guess I'm just not say thank you for alerting us to that because that is always been a website address I am wondering if right now other than the process of changing the format of our website and the process of things shifting over we knows the couple glitches I'm wondering if that is so I will check into that find out exactly what that is and make sure that I have the right address and if it was a typo I apologize to everybody I see that to thank you all right I will transport Sienna want to see if there's anything really out there that that we may have missed and if we did will certainly include it in our Epoch use that we will host we will also post this presentation and the answers are responses that we gave him prepared part of it or we won't have all the ones we just did but we haven't prepared portion will definitely post that as well see that the last I will end with the last person that I saw a series of questions which goes back to the counseling and weather and how does to ask Darcy needs to request to be moved on what is the process for that on the students have not sure that process yet I'm not sure of that process yet I got the key key thing to remember everybody is that we have to keep those caseloads Balance at the cancer is not willing to take on a hike AZ change may not occur so keep that in mind that they will we will let you know what the process is it may be internal only but again we will publicize that as soon as I have an information MLB more along around August also remind you wanted to try to lead it appears in terms of letters of recommendation it was a question can my student ask last year's counselor early recognition absolutely you're not you're not going to drink it away and say oh you're no longer my caseload I know it works really really well I'm not going to please reach out to them and I will have more information regarding the counseling bit later but again we have to make sure that we keep things equal because we want to make sure that we have it serviced and I'll kiss her and I think were there everybody but if you have questions send them our way and we will make sure that we we get those questions answered for you and posted on the website I'm thank you to everybody who submitted questions thank you for participating tonight thank you for asking for more questions that
