-From Andrea De Matteo
We continue to plan for the following:
Monday, 11/16--Welcome kids back on site...and all the staff who support them!!! We'll also continue bus runs for delivery of meals (daily) and materials (Fridays). Families can also pick up at Lotus from 8-10AM (Monday-Thursday) and 9-10AM (Friday). We'll need materials sorted alpha by bus, please. I know this is a pain, but it makes a HUGE difference for our families. THANK YOU for making this happen.
Effective 11/16:
See plan linked here for student groups/safety plans.
See plan linked here for staff expectations.
*SpEd self contained classrooms resume in person learning M, T, Th, F
*PreK classrooms resume in person learning M, T, Th, F
*Targeted EL students per plan at Lotus
*Reading Recovery students resume 1:1 in person sessions as scheduled
All other groups remain full remote until we see improvements in the data. The next update will happen

surprises for anyone.

COVID-19 SAFETY PROCEDURES
EFFECTIVE 10/26/20
Safety Protocols
*If you have any COVID-10 like symptoms at all or are not feeling well, please DO NOT come onsite.
If coming onsite:
*You must continue to self-certify using Skyward.
*All staff must enter through the main entrance at each site.
*You must sign in using the sign in sheet, mark that you self-certified, and take and record your temperature. IF YOU HAVE A FEVER ABOVE 100.4 YOU ARE ASKED TO LEAVE IMMEDIATELY AND REACH OUT TO YOUR PRINCIPAL AND HEATHER.
*Once Sharon/Marc are onsite, they will review the sign in sheet and cross check with the self-certification report. If anyone is NOT cleared or did NOT self-certify, they will meet with them to ensure they are safe to be onsite. If not, they'll refer that employee to Heather.
*If you arrive after Sharon/Marc are onsite, please will report to the Health Office to check in so we know you have self-certified. Your temperature will also be taken and recorded. Employees will know to do this because, when Sharon/Marc arrive, they will pick up the sign in log and put out a sign that says "Please come to the Health Office to check in".
When you come onsite, you can work in your classroom/workspace. Please feel free to use it as your own. I'd just ask that you work in that space as much as possible and not travel out much. You can, of course you can use the bathroom, lounge, copiers, etc. as needed. Please do not congregate in the hallways or in other spaces. We simply want to keep you safe.
If you are alone in your workspace and the door is closed, you may remove your mask. If anyone enters that space, everyone in the space MUST wear a mask and stay 6 ft apart at all times.
When you DO leave your room, I'd ask that you strictly follow the 4 W's to help keep yourself and others around you safe:
1. Wash your hands.
2. Wear your mask.
3. Watch your space.
4. Wait your turn.
If you are concerned that you have COVID-19 or have been exposed to COVID-19 and have been
or are scheduled to be onsite, please let your principal, Maddie Espinoza, and/or me know
immediately so we can partner with you for your safety and for the safety of others.
You can trust that we will keep all this information confidential, balancing staff privacy and system
safety needs.
All staff MUST wear masks AT ALL TIMES
when onsite and in public spaces.
If you are working in an office/classroom
with the door closed, you may remove your
mask. It must be worn when anyone enters
that space with you.

TREAT YO SELF TO SELF CARE
I'm going to use the book 180 Days of Self-Care for Busy Educators by my friend Tina Boogren to
share weekly nuggets of self-care ideas
for all of us.
Week 13: Saying NO
Here's what---"As I've learned to honor myself and appreciate who I am, I have a clearer vision of what
I want to be a part of and what I want to let go of. If it's not a HECK YES, then it needs to be a
HECK NO. Otherwise...we end up feeling exhausted and irritable." (p 58)
This week's invitation: Practice saying NO.
*Keep your response simple.
-"Thank you for thinking of me, but that won't work for me."
-"My heart says yes, but my calendar says no."
-"My other commitments don't leave me time for this right now."
*Offer an alternative.
-If you provide a different solution, it might feel easier...and it helps the other person.
*Buy some time.
-Rather than saying "yes" automatically, buy yourself some time. Do get back to the person, but
use the time to consider if this is a HECK YES.
