What we are doing: Car Caravan through downtown on Tuesday, Sept. 1st at 4:30 (details to follow)
Rationale: It isn’t safe yet for students, families, and staff
Desired Outcomes:
-
To build community partners and awareness
-
Push back the in-person start dates so educators can better prepare for in-person safety protocols and students and staff can become more familiar with the new curriculum.
-
Engage in transparent and open collaborative conversations and planning moving forward (examples: open forums, stake-holder leaders meetings) to better serve our students and community.
Key unifying message guidelines:
-
Keep messages family and student-focused. We are advocating for them.
-
Avoid messages that might imply in-person instruction will never be acceptable. We want to return the right way.
-
Build and maintain community support.
-
Be professional and model appropriate behavior and language.
-
Strive for a positive tone so our message is well received.
