Princeton City Schools: Learning Options   Dear Princeton Parents and Guardians,   The goal of Princeton City School District is to return to a traditional, in-person school setting, when it is safe to do so, while reasonably protecting the health and safety of our students and staff.  If guidelines and health factors indicate that we are unable to bring everyone back at the same time, we will offer an alternating/flex schedule, to bring students back to campus for half of the time and offer remote learning the other half.      However, we recognize that in this scenario, some families would not be comfortable with a return to the classroom. As a result, Princeton will offer a virtual option for those students.   Based on the three options presented at the FaceBook Live June 22 Board of Education meeting, please provide us feedback to assist with the final planning for the reopening of schools in August. A detailed description of the various learning options is available on our website at www.princetonschools.net or you can click here to view the presentation.    A Reopening Task Force Committee, consisting of district and building administrators, consultants, teachers, parents, and community members, determined the learning options based on survey data, an extensive research review, and the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) guidance documents.    Learning Option Descriptions:
Traditional School Day If the Governor allows all students to return to school Monday - Friday with safety guidelines in place. A Traditional School Day (Full Time at School) will be provided. All students would return to a Normal School Day when the state of Ohio determines it is safe.  Health and safety procedures will be in place at every school.    Alternating / Flex Schedule (Buildings will operate at 50% capacity) If the Governor does not allow all students to return to school as described above, an Alternating Schedule (Half-Time at School/Half-Time at Home) will be provided:  This option provides a traditional face to face instructional method AND remote learning.  Students will be able to receive direct instruction and practice in our buildings AND will receive remote learning from home. Buildings will operate at 50% capacity to provide the required social distancing for students and staff. Students will be able to transition to full-time remote learning easily if required by the state of Ohio. Students in this model will follow a Week A/Week B alternating schedule as assigned by the beginning letter of the last name (e.g. A-L, M-Z). This will be determined once all students make their learning model commitment for the upcoming school year.
	Survey in English: https://forms.gle/QCxuDnDWWxfjrgiZ9 Enlace en Español: https://forms.gle/5ezxuS7MiVsKtFp3A
Remote Learning Parents/Guardians can select Remote Learning (Full-Time at Home).  Parents of students in Pre-Kindergarten through twelfth grade can opt-in for their student to learn from home with a structured schedule and support from Princeton educators.  With full-time remote learning, students will receive a grade-level curriculum aligned to content standards in an online environment. Parents must make a one-semester commitment to this option. This leaves open the intent to return to a traditional learning environment in January 2021. Parents also have the option to choose a year long commitment to remote learning.     If you need additional information before making a decision, we will have a modified town hall remote learning series.  Two FACEBOOK LIVE EVENTS  will be held on Thursday, July 9 to go over additional information and to address questions about our learning options. The times of the events are scheduled for 12:00 noon and 6:30 p.m. You can rewatch these broadcasts at your convenience on our social media platforms. The next Board of Education meeting will also be on FACEBOOK LIVE on Monday, July 13, at 6:30 p.m.

La encuesta estará abierta del 1 al 14 de julio.   Aquí están los enlaces:   Encuesta en inglés: https://forms.gle/QCxuDnDWWxfjrgiZ9 Enlace en español: https://forms.gle/5ezxuS7MiVsKtFp3A     Opciones de aprendizaje de la Escuela Princeton City   Estimados padres y tutores de Princeton:   El objetivo del Distrito Escolar de la Ciudad de Princeton es regresar a un entorno escolar tradicional en persona, cuando sea seguro hacerlo, mientras se protege razonablemente la salud y la seguridad de nuestros estudiantes y personal. Si las pautas y los factores de salud indican que no podemos traer a todos de vuelta al mismo tiempo, ofreceremos un horario alternativo / flexible, para que los estudiantes regresen al edificio de la escuela la mitad del tiempo y ofrezcamos aprendizaje remoto la otra mitad.   Sin embargo, reconocemos que en este escenario, algunas familias no se sentirían cómodas con un regreso al aula. Como resultado, Princeton ofrecerá una opción virtual para esos estudiantes.   Según las tres opciones presentadas en la reunión de la Junta de Educación de FaceBook Live del 22 de junio, envíenos sus comentarios para ayudar con la planificación final para la reapertura de las escuelas en agosto. Haga clic en el enlace para ver la presentación de PowerPoint. PowerPoint le proporciona una descripción detallada de las diversas opciones de aprendizaje.   Un comité de reapertura del grupo de trabajo compuesto por el distrito y los administradores del edificio, consultores, maestros, padres y miembros de la comunidad determinó las opciones de aprendizaje basadas en datos de encuestas, una extensa revisión de investigación y los documentos de orientación de los Centros para el Control de Enfermedades (CDC).   Descripciones de opciones de aprendizaje:   Jornada Escolar Tradicional Si el Gobernador permite que todos los estudiantes regresen a la escuela de lunes a viernes con pautas de seguridad establecidas, se proporcionará el día escolar tradicional (tiempo completo en la escuela). Todos los estudiantes regresarán a un día escolar normal cuando el estado de Ohio determine que es seguro. Se implementarán procedimientos de salud y seguridad en cada escuela.   Horario alterno / flexible (los edificios operarán al 50% de su capacidad) Si el gobernador no permite que todos los estudiantes regresen a la escuela como se describe anteriormente, se proporcionará un horario alterno (medio tiempo en la escuela / medio tiempo en el hogar): esta opción proporciona un método de instrucción tradicional cara a cara y aprendizaje remoto. Los estudiantes podrán recibir instrucción y práctica directa en nuestros edificios, y recibirán aprendizaje remoto desde casa. Los edificios operarán al 50% de su capacidad para proporcionar el distanciamiento social requerido para los estudiantes y el personal. Los estudiantes podrán realizar la transición al aprendizaje remoto a tiempo completo fácilmente si así lo requiere el estado de Ohio. Los estudiantes en este modelo seguirán un horario alternativo de Semana A / Semana B según lo asignado por la letra inicial del apellido (por ejemplo, A-L, M-Z) que se determinará una vez que todos los estudiantes hagan su compromiso de modelo de aprendizaje para el próximo año escolar.   Aprendizaje remoto Los padres / tutores pueden seleccionar el aprendizaje remoto (tiempo completo en el hogar). Los padres de estudiantes de Pre-Kindergarten hasta el duodécimo grado pueden optar por que sus estudiantes aprendan desde casa con un horario estructurado y el apoyo de los educadores de Princeton. Con el aprendizaje remoto a tiempo completo, los estudiantes recibirán un plan de estudios de nivel de grado alineado con los estándares de contenido en un entorno en línea. Los padres deben comprometerse durante un semestre con esta opción. Esto deja abierta la intención de regresar a un entorno de aprendizaje tradicional en enero de 2021. Los padres también tienen la opción de elegir un compromiso de un año para el aprendizaje remoto. Si necesita información adicional antes de tomar una decisión, tendremos una serie modificada de aprendizaje remoto del ayuntamiento. El jueves 9 de julio se llevarán a cabo dos EVENTOS EN VIVO DE FACEBOOK para repasar información adicional y responder preguntas sobre nuestras opciones de aprendizaje. Los horarios de los eventos están programados para las 12:00 del mediodía y las 6:30 p.m. Puede ver estas transmisiones a su conveniencia en nuestras plataformas de redes sociales. La próxima reunión de la Junta de Educación también será en FACEBOOK LIVE el lunes 13 de julio a las 6:30 p.m. Complete la siguiente encuesta antes del martes 14 de julio. Si tiene varios estudiantes, envíe la información de cada estudiante en la encuesta.

The Remote Learning Plan

For Emergency School Closure of the Princeton City Schools

Overview of Remote Learning Plan

We are committed to making sure that students continue to experience the care and commitment of our staff and the routine of daily learning, while we are experiencing school closure. We must acknowledge that our approach to remote learning cannot replicate the magic that happens when school is in regular session (the invaluable social interactions, in-person feedback, camaraderie with teachers and peers, community and extracurricular events, and so on). However, we do contend that quality learning can occur from a distance.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic,  Princeton City School District has developed a remote learning plan to enable students to continue to learn each and every day while schools are closed.  This plan supports the Ohio Department of Education’s Remote Learning Resource Guide.   The plan is founded on the four core principles for remote learning.:  (1) High-Quality Remote Learning; (2) Responding to Equity; (3) Leveraging Partnerships; (4) Maintaining Quality Schools

The District continues to support instruction by engaging students in remote learning.  Our goal is to support our students by providing meaningful academic opportunities while protecting the health and safety of students and their families.  This remote learning plan will help us deploy remote learning so that all students will benefit from the instruction that is taught by our teachers.  Princeton City Schools will support the whole child by providing flexible learning options and making adjustments based on student needs.  A continuum of learning opportunities for students to access remote learning is demonstrated by providing online platforms for teacher-student interaction, digital lessons for students to work at home; non-digital lessons, instructional learning packets, and consistent communication with students in innovative ways. 

Our board of education, superintendent, district and building administrators, and community partners are committed to providing the necessary resources to support our staff and students through this pandemic.  

Remote Learning Plan

• High-Quality Remote Learning in the Princeton City School District.  

The district continues to support instruction through a variety of digital and non-digital materials, resources, and instructional activities to maintain academic growth while schools are closed due to emergency.

• The district has developed three options to support student learning:

• Option 1 - District Digital Instructional Materials with Teacher Support

• Digital instructional materials are provided by the district for students to access independently.
• Students access the instruction directly from district purchased materials, e.g., I-Ready Math; I-Ready Reading; Edgenuity; EduPath
• Teachers provide online office hours and conduct teleconferencing to support students with lessons.  

• Option 2 - Teacher-Led Digital & Nondigital Instruction

• Teacher-led digital and nondigital instruction is provided to students to allow for flexibility and variance in the delivery of instruction.
• Students can access the instruction at any time - students self-pace their learning once teachers assign it to them.
• Teachers provide materials digitally using videos, assignments from district materials or supplemental materials which students work independently on and submit.
• Students and teachers communicate through Google Classroom, Zoom, other digital platforms, and/or by telephone.

• Option 3 - Offline Instructional Learning Packets

• Offline instructional learning packets are provided to students in grade K-5 and to English Learner students.  The learning packets are supplemental to the digital instruction.  We are aware that not all students have access to technology, even when we have made it available; thus, we want our students to continue learning as much as possible while schools are closed. 
• Instructional Materials and Resources with Teacher Support
  • Digital Academic Resources
  • Digital Printable Resources
  • Nondigital Resources
  • Offline Learning Packets - Offline learning packets are Instructional packets consisting of interdisciplinary, exploratory, hands-on activities.  The District distributes learning packets with meal pick-up at grab-and-go sites.  In addition, learning packets are mailed to students.

Responding to Equity

Due to the district’s student demographics, it is important that we ensure that opportunities for learning exist for all students.  We strive to ensure that there is equity of access to learning opportunities so that the opportunity and achievement gaps continue to close. We are committed to ensuring that our students K-12 have access to technology devices and internet access.  Therefore, we have been responsive to known equity issues as we developed this remote learning plan.  We have also focused on equity of access to learning for our students with disabilities and second language learners. 

• Mobile Student-Centered Computing - Providing Access for All Students

• All learners will have access to technology in a one-to-one computing environment.  Our goal is to distribute as many devices as possible to support our students. 
  • For students who needed technology devices, they were loaned a Chromebook to use while at home.
  • A District-wide distribution of devices occurred for K-12 students beginning the week of March 23 through April 3.  Individual distribution of devices occurs thereafter based on need.  Parents and students are told to contact the 513-864-1162 to request a Chromebook. 
  • Technology Registration form
  • Chromebook Loan Procedures, Including Acceptable Use Policy
• 1:1 devices are assigned on loan to each student to take home 
• Communication to parents about technology access, and pick up times are provided in many forms, i.e., districtwide All Call messages made by the superintendent and building principals, messages posted on social media (Facebook; Instagram; Tweeter).
• Distribution of devices 
• Instruction to parents about how to sign up is provided 
• Kajeets devices/hot spots for students that do not have the internet at home

• Students are able to access instructional materials from their device by using the district’s Learning Management System (Clever)

• Food Distribution
• Morning Bus Stop Breakfast drop-offs were provided to families of all K-12 students beginning the second week of the school closure.  Changes were made to the schedule subsequently to provide morning bus stop breakfasts routes to elementary and middle school students.
• We provide food distributions to families at six elementary schools since March 23. On March 30, Governor DeWine announced that all Ohio K-12 school buildings will continue to be closed through at least May 1; therefore, we have continued to distribute food to our families. 
• In response to the needs and best practices, we continue to provide Grab & Go meals at six elementary buildings to anyone 18 and younger for a meal package each week on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Friday.  The six elementary schools are:  Heritage Hill, Lincoln Heights, Sharonville, Springdale, Stewart, or Woodlawn Elementary schools.  They are in operation from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. 

• Partnerships with community organizations, churches, recreation centers, food pantries, and other organizations to support 

• Our community partners are also delivering donated food and other life supplies to families in need. Our  community partners and volunteers collect, package, and distribute Student Meal Kits and other items to Princeton families in need.

• Ohio Department of Education - Consideration for Students with Disabilities during Ohio School Closure
• The Required Special Education Contact Log provides guidance on the conversation that intervention specialists and related services personnel have with parents.  All contacts are documented.
• Efforts are made to provide specialized services to students with disabilities during the time of the school closure. Schools will need to consider the exact nature and duration of the services provided during this period on a case-by-case basis depending on the needs of individual students. 
• Ninety- eight percent of our parents with students with disabilities have been contacted.
• Special education guidance document is sent to all special education staff to provide guidance with holding ETR and IEP meetings during school closure.

  • CRISIS TEXT LINE: 839863 and text 4HOPE 

• The below numbers are listed on our website:

• Maintaining Quality Schools/Family Communication and Engagement:  A quality school is a “place” where parents, caregivers, community partners and others interact and collaborate to enhance the learning experience of students.  Direct human interaction facilitates authentic learning, which cannot be replaced easily by remote learning.  

Parents, guardians, and families are strategic partners for enhancing the learning experiences of students.  They want to be informed and want to be able to get answers.  They are allies in ensuring devices are charged, are cared for, and support their child learning at home.  Below are ways that the District is engaging families.

• Facebook Live Sessions

• The superintendent has a weekly Facebook Live session to update staff, parents, students, and residents about the district's efforts to ensure that students are receiving a quality education through remote learning. Sessions begin at 6:30 pm - 7:30 p.m. The first session was held on April 6.  The second session was held on April 13.

• Home Survey - 360-Degree Communication 
• If school closure continues through the beginning of next school year, we may want to consider surveying teachers, students, parents to find out how they are adjusting to at-home learning in real-time. Surveys should be shared via text, email, and online to broaden accessibility and increase response rates. These can be quick 2-3 question polls that can be completed in under five minutes. Here is an example: 
• Remote Learning Home Support Survey Template

• Virtual Connectivity - Taking Activities Online as Much as Possible

• The district realizes the importance of being connected to teachers and friends.  We also know that students need to feel a sense of belonging to be fully engaged in learning;  therefore, the administration is making provisions for virtual connectivity, taking activities online as much as possible. Google Hangouts, Facebook, and Zoom can be used for the following:
• Show-and-tell 
• Book report/science presentations
• Awards Assemblies
• Music Concerts
• Spirit week daily challenges 

• Social-Emotional Wellness at Home/ Mental Health

 School counselors work remotely with students.  They use digital resources that focus on SEL competencies, for example, feelings and emotions, self-regulation, decision making, etc. 

• It’s Okay to Ask for Help - Joining Forces for Children
• Talking to Kids about Stressful Situations - Joining Forces for Children
