| We are still flying beneath the clouds - keep your seatbelts on! Heading into large clouds soon.... but perhaps it will be as smooth as its mostly been... Team Harwood;
The most commonly asked question these days is - “so, how did it go?” As a result of OUR hard work and tireless efforts the response has continually been “smoother than we could have hoped.”
Hopefully everyone took time this weekend to breathe deeply and feel a sense of accomplishment for successfully completing the first step. Now, the continued work of refining our systems and consistently upholding ECHO is upon us.
The news of two Crossett Brook students testing positive surfaces the true reality of why we have feet markers 6 ft. apart in front of the cafeteria, why only ½ of our students are in the building at a time and why we will continue to support each other and our students in keeping our masks on at all time. PLEASE NOTE: unless you are contacted by the Vermont Department of Health (VDH.)
At this time HUUSD is planning to transition to a 3/2 model next Monday 9/21. This means:
In partnership and with gratitude, Laurie, Meg and Duane |

A few quick FAQ’s What is the protocol if students aren't social distancing? And what do we do if we notice more than 2 students in the bathroom at once? Some students may need reminders as they start to become comfortable with this our new school model. The best approach is to be gentle yet firm. Reminders that do not produce results may require a referral to our student support team (see link below) . We will be utilizing our Powerschool referral system (as we have in the past) to identify and flag issues that our team may need to address. As in most cases a team approach works best. How are we handling discipline referrals to our Student Support Services? Please take a minute to view the process of how to log a discipline referral into powerschool: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1-YGSalbDcCV11LdODzjpQtcbv4EosrbVARinvXJZr-w/edit#slide=id.g63cdac98cc_0_15 What is the protocol for students that email on an off-site (zoom) day and say that they don't feel well and are not coming to the zoom? Do their parents need to call them in sick, do I mark them present or absent? Students who are ill and need to take a sick day regardless if is a in-person/remote day need to have a note from their parent (email) indicating that they are missing a day of school. As long a a parent indicates they are sick this is understood to be an excused day. What is our plan for fire drills and other emergency drills this year? We will hold monthly drills as we had in the past. Instructions/directions will be sent out prior to our first drill as well as a brief discussion at the September 23rd staff meeting. How will the library be used this year? The library space will be utilized as a TA/study hall/small group and resource center during the school year. Where can staff park if they arrive during student arrival because of family needs? Staff can park in the Dowsville parking lot. |
