Items of Note:
- 489 Staff will attend on-site at Hays High School unless they are listed to attend the Dyslexia Training or are quarantined or isolated
- Look for social distancing instructions posted outside each room – follow them closely
- Maintain six feet of distance
- Classrooms will be available at HHS to participate in sessions that are only offered via Zoom – you need to bring earbuds (with microphone if at all possible) to participate as these classrooms will be open to people attending different Zoom sessions
- Some sessions are offered simultaneously via Zoom and on-site: PLEASE attend in the assigned on-site room instead of Zooming even when that’s an option. (You’ll know the session is available on-site if the assigned room is blue on the map.)
- Don’t move furniture or use items that belong to the classroom teacher in the Zoom participant rooms
- Feel free to install the Sched app on your mobile device – search for “Tiger” to find our event
- Conference Information page – blue tab at the top of the website or in the “Info” tab on the app – includes session filter information, conference schedule, color-coded maps of HHS
- Color-coded maps will be available on-site at HHS that day
- The 2:30 Pickleball session has too many registrations – the first 18 people to arrive will be allowed in. Other on-site sessions at 2:30 with available space are in the Cafeteria, Band Room, and Choir Room. Other than this one exception, please do not change your schedule on the website or in the app – if your schedule MUST change, please contact Marie Henderson
- All room assignments will be made by the end of the day Monday and you are expected to attend the sessions for which you signed up.

KSDE Presents: Virtual ESOL PD!
Join our January remote PD series designed specifically for Kansas ESOL educators! Sarah Ottow, Founder and Director, of Confianza (www.ELLstudents.com) will facilitate four remote workshops as a professional learning community around the four topics below, each Wednesday after school in January. Each session will move through connecting, learning, applying, and reflecting on action steps to infuse in your practice. Come to any or all of the sessions with your ideas, your questions, and your reflections where we will engage in hands-on, collaborative learning!
