Planning for Reuniting in 2020-2021
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]On a weekly basis the school’s Emergency Committee has been meeting in order to review the school’s response to the current Pandemic in terms of Academics, Services to the Community and Operations. This is the time when the group shares best practices learned from different webinars and forums to which we have access through the networks our school has developed.
The team is now in the midst of the preparation of the “Trusting and Planning Forward: A Guide to Reuniting for 2020-2021″. Our priority with the documentation we are producing is to focus on the safety of our families and our commitment to the mission and vision that has carried us through these weeks. As we have reiterated, this experience has promoted the implementation of several practices that we may want to keep as we plan forward. Every stakeholder has been forced out of comfort zones and serious considerations have been discussed as excellent take-aways for the near future.
In order to produce an organized plan of action, seven committees will be drafting and reviewing documentation to present a guide that integrates the following areas to align with our vision and mission:[/vc_column_text][us_separator size=”custom” height=”30px”][us_iconbox icon=”fas|group” style=”circle” title=”Community Services and Relationships” title_tag=”h6″ img=”26496″ el_class=”comittee” css=”%7B%22default%22%3A%7B%22font-weight%22%3A%22500%22%2C%22font-size%22%3A%2220px%22%2C%22width%22%3A%2222%25%22%2C%22margin-left%22%3A%2215px%22%2C%22margin-right%22%3A%2215px%22%7D%7D”][/us_iconbox][us_iconbox icon=”fas|group” style=”circle” title=”Extended Learning Development” title_tag=”h6″ img=”26497″ el_class=”comittee” css=”%7B%22default%22%3A%7B%22font-weight%22%3A%22500%22%2C%22font-size%22%3A%2220px%22%2C%22width%22%3A%2222%25%22%2C%22margin-left%22%3A%2215px%22%2C%22margin-right%22%3A%2215px%22%7D%7D”][/us_iconbox][us_iconbox icon=”fas|group” style=”circle” title=”Finance Management” title_tag=”h6″ img=”26501″ el_class=”comittee” css=”%7B%22default%22%3A%7B%22font-weight%22%3A%22500%22%2C%22font-size%22%3A%2220px%22%2C%22width%22%3A%2222%25%22%2C%22margin-left%22%3A%2215px%22%2C%22margin-right%22%3A%2215px%22%7D%7D”][/us_iconbox][us_iconbox icon=”fas|group” style=”circle” title=”Operations and Facilities Management” title_tag=”h6″ img=”26499″ el_class=”comittee” css=”%7B%22default%22%3A%7B%22font-weight%22%3A%22500%22%2C%22font-size%22%3A%2220px%22%2C%22width%22%3A%2222%25%22%2C%22margin-left%22%3A%2215px%22%2C%22margin-right%22%3A%2215px%22%7D%7D”][/us_iconbox][us_iconbox icon=”fas|group” style=”circle” title=”Socio-emotional, Spiritual and Character Development” title_tag=”h6″ img=”26500″ el_class=”comittee” css=”%7B%22default%22%3A%7B%22font-weight%22%3A%22500%22%2C%22font-size%22%3A%2220px%22%2C%22width%22%3A%2222%25%22%2C%22margin-left%22%3A%2215px%22%2C%22margin-right%22%3A%2215px%22%7D%7D”][/us_iconbox][us_iconbox icon=”fas|group” style=”circle” title=”Safety and Well-being” title_tag=”h6″ img=”26502″ el_class=”comittee” css=”%7B%22default%22%3A%7B%22font-weight%22%3A%22500%22%2C%22font-size%22%3A%2220px%22%2C%22width%22%3A%2222%25%22%2C%22margin-left%22%3A%2215px%22%2C%22margin-right%22%3A%2215px%22%7D%7D”][/us_iconbox][us_iconbox icon=”fas|group” style=”circle” title=”Teaching and Learning” title_tag=”h6″ img=”26498″ el_class=”comittee” css=”%7B%22default%22%3A%7B%22font-weight%22%3A%22500%22%2C%22font-size%22%3A%2220px%22%2C%22width%22%3A%2222%25%22%2C%22margin-left%22%3A%2215px%22%2C%22margin-right%22%3A%2215px%22%7D%7D”][/us_iconbox][us_separator size=”custom” height=”30px”][vc_column_text]The purposes of these committees have been defined. For example, the Safety and Well-being Sub-committee will need to be on top of how what we learn about the virus will affect the school’s practices and decision making. In conjunction with the Teaching and Learning sub-committee, the Safety and Well-being sub-committee will design and continually update a decision matrix that informs how learning and operations should commence and shift based on current health and safety guidelines: IF conditions look like this, THEN we learn / operate like this….
In order to do that and design and continually update the policies, procedures and precautions that ensure the health and safety of our entire community, coordination between the committees will also be key.
