Caddo Update
Caddo announced students in grades 6-8 will have the option of returning to schools Monday-Thursday with a virtual Friday or attend school 100% virtually beginning Monday, October 5th. Virtual Fridays are going to be crucial for teachers and staff to not only ensure all learners have access to their assignments, but to also provide teachers with a time to conduct one on ones with students, parent conferences, and whatever else may be needed to support the instructional needs of all learners. A survey will be sent out to parents beginning tomorrow to determine what schools will need to be prepared to provide as far as instruction, food, and nutrition. High school students will begin receiving the same survey after middle school students have already been phased in.
Caddo Parish stated that masks will still be mandated in classrooms for all students grades 3 and up, and will be required for all students on buses. Social distancing will still be in effect, and more hand sanitizers, soap, and cleaning supplies will be available. Principals should be able to assist teachers with requesting these items. If you are having issues with any of the above, let us know.
Dr. Goree also informed us that the district is creating a dashboard to provide transparency in the number of cases in the district. We know this has been a huge concern for teachers and staff to only hear about positive cases through the “grapevine.”
We are working diligently to ensure these promises are implemented, but we count on our members to notify us if they are not. For any issues members may have around any of the COVID Guidelines, please complete our Report It form so they can be addressed.
