Plan E

Parents,

Thanks for your patience last week as we experienced our first significant snow fall of the winter, and worked through our first attempt at “Plan E.”  While there were a few bugs to work through, students and teachers seemed able to log on and participate in class on Friday using Elluminate.

In terms of our status, whether we are open or closed for the day, most of the TV and radio stations, and their respective websites will report this.  However, WHIO uses a separate service that did not report us last Friday.  I am following up with them to find out what else needs to be done.  They told me initially that our status would NOT be reported on the TV, but would be on their radio stations and website.  However, that never happened last Friday.  In the mean time, I recommend using other stations and websites besides WHIO to check our status until I can get clarification.  You are also encouraged to check out our website (www.daytonstemschool.org) on these mornings, as Mrs. McFarlin posted the “Plan E” status there as well.

We have our next parents meeting tonight at 6:00PM.  Part of the agenda will be on students’ Internet and netbook usage, with information to help you as a parent to monitor this outside of the school day.

Dr. Boyd
