Student: "I hope you don't mind me turning this in tomorrow instead. My brain is fried." Me: I'm fine with tomorrow or tomorrow or tomorrow. We can always give our kids another tomorrow. Always. Deadlines and due dates are artificial ends. Empathy exceeds. Empathy endures.

Essential tips for reflecting on the choice boards, learning menus, or playlists we are proving to students.
Choice alone ≠ #UDL."If you aren’t providing accessibility and flexibility and aligning those with the goals of your lessons and online learning environment, then you cannot provide the choices necessary to meet the needs of your variable learners." bit.ly/2XwXF4U #a11y

The creativity of our teachers is truly inspiring. Many are producing their own content to help students with the transition to DL. Alyssa Dykes is an AVID Coordinator & Humanities teacher @OVMS_Falcons. She made this vid on how to maximize the experience: youtube.com/watch?v=wF4V4K9c…

We love how @OVMS_Falcons math teacher @TraciTeacher is chalking her walk with math problems every day for her students and neighbors to solve.
Enjoyed my #mathwalk to share @robertkaplinsky's #openmiddle problem. Someone walking by (6 ft away) ended her phone call to thank me b/c the only reason her husband and daughter walk is to see new sidewalk math ❤️. bit.ly/mathwalks2020 #iteachmath #MTBoS

Advice to teachers - take the pressure off yourself, with school closed don’t try to replicate the school day from your computer at home! It’s amazing what we have achieved and accomplished to date!

"It is imperative we all comply with these orders. They were not created to follow when convenient. Not following these orders puts everyone's lives at risk." Read @SDSheriff Bill Gore's statement on slowing the spread of #coronavirus #COVID19 and saving lives. #SocialDistancing

REMINDER: Food distribution will be moving to 12 centralized locations STARTING TOMORROW @ 11am, and ONLY at these sites. We'll be accepting walk-ins, but drive up is preferred to help maintain safe social distancing standards for everyone. powayusd.com/en-US/Departmen…

#PowayUnified schools remain open. Any website or post that is saying otherwise is fake. PUSD is aware of the newly issued guidelines from Governor Newsom & the CA Dept. of Public Health & will follow all guidelines. We will provide an official update to our community shortly.
