COVID Point of Contact
The COVID Point of Contact is Mr. Bush, not the nurse. If a student experiences symptoms, please follow the following guidelines.
- Contact the front office and inform them that you need a student to be removed from class due to symptoms.
- Please wait for directions for where to relocate your class.
- Your classroom will be fogged. Please wait to be told to return to your classroom.
- Please use good judgement regarding symptoms.
Face Mask Required
Our school district continues to follow the CDC and Department of Public Health COVID-19 recommendations. Please see the link below that indicates that face shields are NOT alternatives to wearing a mask. They can be worn as additional personal protective equipment. If you have special circumstances or issues that need to be addressed, please contact Human Resources for guidance.

REMOTE LEARNER CORNER
K-12 Remote Learning Plans
In August 2020, the Georgia Department of Education released K-12 Remote Learning Plans. Plans are provided for each content area, fine arts and physical education/wellness. They each include two weeks' worth of lesson plans that include "plugged and unplugged" activities. They have all been vetted by GADOE content experts and they all align to the Georgia Standards. In situations where a classroom would have to pivot to an online learning environment and/or if a substitute is used, these resources would be good supplements to the modules that teachers have prepared in Canvas. They are also great supplements for our face to face teachers.
Virtual Academy Attendance
If you are a teacher for the virtual academy, please use the following form for your attendance through the first two weeks of school.
Taking Attendance Virtually - What Counts?
Attendance for virtual students will be taken daily. Attendance is based on assignment completion or interaction with teachers. We cannot require students to use their video/camera to be counted present. Please view the PowerPoint below.
