#onted @Sflecce promised us a lot.

- N95 for staff
- "high quality masks" for Ss
- 2 RATs for everyone
- extra HEPA units

Let's get some scores going!

I got 1 of 4, the N95s - 25%

@_DrDi @kayuoit That’s what was said!

[Michael Warner @drmwarner]

If having two RATs is empowering for parents, knowing that a child(ren) in their kids' class has #COVID is likely just as empowering.

Transparency and contemporaneous information would allow parents to make the best decisions for their kids health.

[Ms. Krispanis @MsKrispanis]

Increased symptom list, no access to testing and a 5 day isolation for all household members will very quickly mean that schools will not have enough staff on a given day. What happens then? This is a huge problem. #onted

#Ottawa Jan 11th COVID 🧵: Regardless of whether you support or oppose kids going back to school, yesterday it was announced they would be on the 17th. Assuming this happens (7 days can see many things change), there's no denying a huge number of our kids will catch Omicron

[Michael Warner @drmwarner]

Jan 4: close schools b/c of threatened health system capacity, but school has always been safe.

Jan 17: health system capacity much worse and very little has been done to make schools safer...so let's reopen school.

I want kids in school, but the logic is difficult to follow.

[Michael Warner @drmwarner]

I'd love to have my kids back in school.
Some Qs:
If a teacher is sent home sick...what happens to their students?
-Will they still be learning while in school, or simply be "at" school?
-If a teacher is sick at home who will provide virtual learning to isolating students?

Thinking ahead to next week - on the PA day, make sure you remove all additional teachers from your Google Classroom *before* you archive the class. This includes any administrator you have attached to the classroom.

[Wali Shah @LifeAsWali]

We are like these pencils.

Divided, we are broken easily.
Together, we cannot be broken.

Food for thought, in light of what has happened this past week in London, ON. The allyship from so many at this time reminds me what Canada really looks like. May we always stand together.

Google Classroom Maintenance Tip:
Return all assignments before the end of the year, even ones that were not formally graded. This will return ownership of the work to the students who created it.
