Monday Memo
Week of May 18
Weeks 8 and 9
Reminders:
Teachers are encouraged to review learning activities and assignments contained in all modules and determine critical content for student demonstrations of mastery.
PLCs may determine what critical content should be prioritized and what content should have less focus at this time. Non-prioritized content can be exempt by entering the gradebook and changing the status of those assignments to “excused.” Teachers must communicate to students that anything marked “excused” will not be their responsibility.
To support students with completing essential assignments, no new assignments from FLVS will be published for week 9. Students are encouraged to continue SmartyAnts, Zearn and connecting with teachers, but other time should be prioritized on critical content.
Mental Health Training ~ to be completed...
Pursuant to F.S. 1012.584 & 1012.584, all Pasco County School staff is required to participate in training for youth suicide awareness and prevention. All staff who have not attended the 6-hour Youth Mental Health First Aid training (YMHFA), must complete an alternate training, titled Kognito. The Kognito training consists of a 1.0-hour virtual simulation training.
The requirement is for all staff to be trained in YMHFA or Kognito prior to school starting this fall, August 10, 2020.
