Agenda and Homework

Virtual School (ZOOM) for Room 18

April 19 - 23, 2021

Dear Room 18 Parents,

Below, is a letter from Tiffani, regarding CAASPP Testing, which begins Monday (April 19). Room 18 will be testing on Thursday April 22, and Thursday April 29, (not last week as stated in last week’s agenda.) Please read the letter carefully. Below the letter, you will find t his week’s agenda.

Dear Parent(s) and Guardian(s):

For the 2021 spring administration of the California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress (CAASPP) for English language arts/literacy (ELA), mathematics, science, students will be able to take their assigned tests remotely or in-person. Our priority is to keep our students and educators safe by following state, county, and local health and safety requirements associated with the current pandemic.

This letter provides information about what students testing remotely need. Students will take the test from the safety of their homes. The test administrator or examiner will connect with each child by computer. To make sure that each student receives the most accurate score, we are providing the following guidelines for student testing:

You may assist your child with setting up the technology used to enter the test session.
To keep the test fair for all students, we ask that you do not talk about the questions on the test or any materials for the test with anyone before, during, or after the test.
No one may record the test or use a camera or another device to take pictures of the test questions or of your child taking the test. This helps to keep the questions confidential.
We need to know that the test is being completed by your child without any help. To verify compliance, a web camera and microphone will be used to observe your child while taking the test. The camera is only used to observe your child and the surroundings during the test and will not record the session.
Please follow all instructions given by the test administrator or examiner to place the camera where your child and the child’s immediate surroundings can be observed.

If your child is experiencing computer issues the homeroom teacher will give them an alternative date when they need to come to the school for in-person testing. Please ensure that your student is brought to the Hayward Campus by 9:15AM. Students will need to bring their device along with earphones.

In-Person testing will be completed on the day that your student is on campus for in-person learning. Students will need to bring their device along with earphones.

Testing will begin on Monday, April 19th. Please contact your student’s homeroom teacher for specific dates and test that will be given.

If you have questions or concerns, please reach out to Ms. Aishan at aishan@keyacademycharter.org for more information.

Thank you for making sure your child is ready to test. With your help, we can ensure that your child, as well as all students in California, are provided with the best opportunity to succeed and show what they know.

Agenda and Homework

Virtual School (ZOOM) for Room 18

April 12 –16, 2021

Parents: This week’s agenda has a lot of information in it. I’m sending it early, so you can read it in sections if you like. Please see the school website for the English version of the letter below. It’s in a different format that does not transfer accurately to our agenda.

Queridas familias:

Escribimos hoy para compartir algunas noticias emocionantes mientras hacemos un descanso de una semana para descansar y recargar energías antes de abordar el resto del año escolar. Después de las vacaciones de Primavera, comenzaremos el proceso de regresar a los estudiantes al campus para que aprendan en persona.

A principios de este año, los expertos en salud pública locales, estatales y federales comenzaron a llegar a un consenso sobre cómo se ve poder brindar un entorno de aprendizaje seguro para los estudiantes y el personal de las escuelas. Desde entonces, hemos estado planificando la mejor manera de brindar oportunidades de aprendizaje en persona de manera segura.

A partir de la semana del 12 de Abril, brindaremos oportunidades de aprendizaje en persona para aquellos estudiantes que estaban interesados en regresar mientras continuamos ofreciendo una opción completa de aprendizaje a distancia para los estudiantes que aún no están listos para regresar al campus. Por supuesto, garantizar la salud y la seguridad de nuestra comunidad escolar es nuestra principal prioridad y hemos realizado cambios e inversiones importantes para estar lo más seguros posible, que incluyen:

Escritorios espaciados a 3 pies de distancia
Equipo de EPP (mascarillas, guantes, etc.)
Uso del espacio al aire libre
Medidas de filtración de aire
Estaciones de desinfectante de manos
Divisores de escritorio para estudiantes

Nuestro primer paso para traer a los estudiantes de regreso al campus de Hayward (1570 Ward Street Hayward, CA 94541) permitirá que cada estudiante pueda estar en la escuela un día a la semana. Hacemos esto por un par de razones. Primero, estamos siendo deliberados e intencionales acerca de una reapertura gradual que nos permita aprender y hacer los cambios necesarios con una cantidad mínima de posibles interrupciones. En segundo lugar, debido a los cambios en la ley de escuelas autónomas en 2019, actualmente tenemos prohibido usar el espacio en nuestras instalaciones de San Leandro. Como saben, estamos trabajando en nuestras opciones de instalaciones para continuar usando la Iglesia Luterana Epiphany o asegurar otra instalación antes del año escolar 2021-22. Sin embargo, durante el resto de este año, estamos limitados al espacio en nuestra ubicación de Hayward, lo que afecta la cantidad de estudiantes que podemos tener en el campus a la vez.

Horas de escuela: 9am –3pmEn-Persona9am –4pmDistance Learning

* Los estudiantes no pueden llegar antes de las 8:45 am al campus de Hayward.

* Los horarios de las clases de Idiomas del Mundo han cambiado y serán compartidos por los maestros de salón. No habrá clases de idiomas los días de aprendizaje presencial.

Para mantener a todos a salvo, se implementarán algunas nuevas medidas de seguridad:

Se deben usar máscaras faciales en todo momento, excepto para comer o beber.

Mínimo de 3-6 pies de distancia social en todo momento.

Los padres / tutores no pueden entrar a la escuela. Los padres / tutores deben dejar a sus estudiantes en el frente del edificio y no deben dejar su vehículo.

Todos los estudiantes deben completar un cuestionario de autoevaluación antes de venir a la escuela. Si alguna respuesta a las preguntas es “sí”, debe quedarse en casa y asistir al programa de aprendizaje a distancia ese día e informar ala oficina al 510-397-2524.

Si necesita recoger a su hijo temprano, llame primero a la oficina.

Se espera que todos los estudiantes usen una máscara y tendrán que atravesar las puertas de la cafetería y tomar su temperatura (cualquier persona con una temperatura superior a 100F o síntomas de COVID-19 será enviada a casa) y desinfectar las manos antes de ingresar al edificio.

Los estudiantes deben ir a su área designada en el asfalto y pararse en la línea de su clase a 3 pies de distancia.

Los estudiantes deberán desinfectarse las manos al entrar y salir del aula.

Todas las comidas y refrigerios se consumirán en los salones de clases, al aire libre o en espacios comunes y serán monitoreados por el personal. Los estudiantes o el personal irán a la cafetería a recoger un almuerzo caliente para llevar.

Las mochilas y chaquetas de los estudiantes deben colocarse en el respaldo de sus sillas.

A la hora de salida, los estudiantes se alinearán afuera de la clase para esperar a sus padres / tutores. Por favor, diríjase a la zona amarilla para recoger a los estudiantes. Permanezca en su vehículo.

La hora de salida es a las 3:00 pm. No ofreceremos cuidado después de la escuela en este momento.

Las aulas se desinfectan con soluciones de limpieza EPA COVID-19. Cada salón también contará con desinfectante para manos y toallitas desinfectantes para usar durante el día.

A los estudiantes que no sigan nuestras medidas de seguridad se les pedirá que continúen el resto del año en nuestro programade aprendizaje a distancia.

Cada maestro enviará una lista de materiales necesarios para la instrucción en persona. También tendrán los horarios actualizados específicos para compartir con usted antes de que regresemos a En persona.

Mientras los profesores imparten clases en persona, también podrían transmitir la lección en vivo para los estudiantes en el programa de aprendizaje a distancia. Entendemos que puede haber algunos problemas de conectividad a Internet ya que todos transmitimos en vivo desde nuestras aulas, por favor, por el paciente mientras intentamos reconectarnos. Los maestro'sque no transmitan en vivo tendrán lecciones pregrabadas para que los estudiantes accedan. En caso de que Internet no esté disponible durante el resto del día, los estudiantes tendrán que completar un trabajo independiente.

A medida que hacemos la transición alperíodo limitado de aprendizaje en persona, evaluaremos continuamente sus comentarios y la orientación más reciente de nuestros expertos ensalud pública para satisfacer las necesidades de tantos estudiantes como sea posible.

Gracias por su continuo apoyo y paciencia. Esperamos verlos a usted y a sus hijos cuando reanudemos las clases el 12 de abril. Para obtener más información sobre la reapertura y otras medidas de seguridad que tomará la escuela, consulte el sitio web de nuestra escuela en "Padres" y luego en "Recursos COVID-19". Si tiene alguna pregunta, llame a la oficina al 510-397-2524.

Atentamente,
