3/26/2021 Week of Mar. 29 - april 2, 2021 Hybrid Updates #3: Reminder - Hybrid students need to bring fully charged Chromebook and their own chargers to school each day. We will not be able to provide chargers for students and we don't want you to run out of battery! Reminder - masks must be worn at all times while on school campus; masks need to be double-layered to meet health guidelines, this rules out most neck gators. We will have a supply of masks available for students if needed. Students will not be able to share supplies; please ensure that Hybrid students have a supply of pencils, paper and other basic supplies; we do have some supplies available - please reach out to our Family Engagement Liaison, Jannes Martinez (also, you can see the link below), if your child needs supplies. Remember - please send your child with a water bottle that can be refilled so that they have direct access to water throughout the day so that students stay hydrated. Remember…if you selected the HYBRID model you MUST fill out the acknowledgement form in Family Access. Your child will not be able to return if that isn’t completed. Directions can be found here: https://www.auburn.wednet.edu/Page/22670 Hybrid students...you will be required to fill out a DAILY health screening in order to come into the building. This is done through your Student Access (Skyward) account. You can do this on your phone or on your Chromebook. In order to come into the school on your hybrid days, you’ll need to show us your screen (phone or Chromebook) with the big green checkmark showing you’ve completed the screening for that day. You can watch a video on how to do that at HERE . Click on the link and then scroll down to see the videos. Start practicing now! You can fill this out each day starting now as practice. Please take a minute to watch a video linked here from Mrs. McGroarty!!

3/17/2021 Email text - hybrid return update #1Cascade Families, I’m excited to be able to start sharing with you all of the information and details you’ll need for us to safely welcome students who have chosen the week of March 29th. I’m going to slowly give you information so you have all you need to know but don’t get overwhelmed. Today, I’ll start with some general information so you clearly understand what school will look like for both hybrid and online kids. -First…if you committed to the Hybrid model you MUST fill out the acknowledgement form in Family Access. Your child will not be able to return if that isn’t completed. Directions can be found here https://www.auburn.wednet.edu/Page/22670 -HYBIRD - We are aiming to notify you by the end of this week whether your student is in the A or B group. Due to all the limitations with the health guidelines, there will be no option to choose or switch your placement in group A or B. Assignments were created based on transportation and keeping secondary siblings on the same A/B schedule. -The school schedule for ALL students is attached. Hybrid and Online students will all use the same daily schedule. Just as it is right now, the Monday schedule is a bit different than the rest of the week. Lunch assignments will be finalized and sent out soon – please note that the window for lunchtime will be assigned for BOTH Hybrid and Online students due to some teachers being assigned to both online and hybrid classes. -Monday for ALL students will be online. It will look very much like Mondays currently do. That schedule is attached. -Tuesday - Friday
-Lunch will be served at school in person for hybrid kids, and breakfast will be sent home for the next day and should be eaten prior to arriving at school each day; both will continue to be served for online and/or hybrid kids on their off days in the current location. -Buses will be running for hybrid kids. More info on routes/times soon. -The first A/B rotation (Tuesday, March 30 and Wednesday, March 31) will be 6th graders only. This will allow us to acclimate our newest students to the school building they’ve never been in yet. 7th/8th graders will continue in the current online model on those two days – more details to come from teachers as the date approaches. -There will be no regular classes on March 26th or March 29th. These are transition days for teachers to prep for the move to hybrid; teachers will provide asynchronous work on those days and may hold a short meet during the morning using the Monday meet schedule to take attendance OR they may assign work to count for attendance for that day; individual teachers will determine and communicate their plan with students. -On Thursday, April 1st all grades A group will attend, on Friday, April 2nd all grades B group will attend. The next week the new “normal” hybrid/online schedule will begin for all students. Hopefully this provides answers to some of the questions that are circling around your mind right now. Much more to come! Keep watching for emails from me with all the info leading to our return.
