January 2021 the GMS Staff Wants to Wish You All a Healthy and Happy New Year! GMS Family Update – January 2021 The GMS staff wants to wish you all a healthy and happy new year! We would like to thank each of you for your continued support and collaboration as we work through this pandemic together. We are proud to announce that we have been able to have our students in-person up to this point and are excited about being able to continue this practice. Of course, we would not be able to do it without your support in our processes and procedures. Thank you all! Devices for Virtual / Quarantine Learners We are working hard to ensure that our virtual students have reliable technology to work with while learning virtually or in quarantine. This is just a reminder that if you need a MIFI for internet service or a laptop computer for your virtual / quarantined learner, please let us know at the school so we can assist. Virtual / Quarantined Learners Returning to School At Home learners using HASD Devices: 1) Devices need to be returned the same day the child returns to school.

Doors open at 9:30. Students need to be in class by 9:55. Student Use of Personal Devices While at School There is no doubt that social media has impacted the lives of adults and children alike. To that extent, it is also important to note there are times when the use of social media is appropriate, and times when it is not. Over the course of the 1st semester there have been a significant number of situations in which students have not followed district and school procedures related to use of personal devices while at school. We felt it was important to remind you and your child(ren) of these expectations as we enter second semester so they can continue to have the privilege of having their phones at school. The information below was taken directly from page seven (7) and eight (8) of the student handbook The Hortonville Area School District has also implemented a Bring Your Own Device policy (BYOD). This new addition to the Acceptable Usage Policy allows students to use their personal digital devices (smart phones, iPads, tablets, etc.) at school. All personal devices must remain in backpacks* during the academic day unless given teacher permission for educational purposes. Students MAY NOT use their personal wireless data plans at school under any circumstances. as all internet usage during the school day must be filtered. Students MAY NOT use their personal devices to text, place telephone calls, take pictures, take video, or access social networking sites during the school UNLESS permission is granted by a teacher. CONSEQUENCES FOR VIOLATING DIGITAL CITIZENSHIP / BYOD EXPECTATIONS: 1. First Offense - Device will be confiscated and may be picked up in the office at the conclusion of the school day. A minor office referral will be entered. 2. Second Offense - Device will be confiscated and may be picked up in the office at the conclusion of the school day. A minor office referral will be entered. 3. Third Offense - Device will be confiscated and a parent will be required to pick up the device from school. A minor office referral will be entered. 4. Fourth Offense - Privilege revoked for the remainder of the quarter (or equivalent). Students will still have limited access to school issued devices for instructional purposes only. A major office referral will be entered. (District Policy #5136) Depending on the offense, the consequence may go directly to step 4. Per administrator discretion. When we returned to school on January 4th, we did a reteach / booster with all students related to the use of technology at school. Also – Because of the problems we have been having with students being on social media sites during school we are now implementing the following procedures (which are still in line with the handbook expectations) 1. Students will be allowed to be on their phones before school as long as they are following the expectations outlined above and in the handbook. Once morning announcements begin, students will be expected to power off their phones and put them in their backpack (unless they have teacher permission to keep then out) 2. Students will be able to be on their phones during flex period (2:45 – 3:07) as long as they are following the expectations outlined above and in the handbook. If a teacher needs them to be put away during this time, students should comply with this request. 3. Students will be expected to have their phones powered off and in their backpacks during lunch periods. We have had a significant number of issues during this time, which has prompted this response. Lunch period is a great opportunity for students to talk and connect with their friends face to face. Health Room and COVID Mitigation Procedures Students who need to utilize the health room will be divided into separate areas based on the specifics of their visit. If a student is displaying any of the symptoms on the symptom checker document, they will be separated from students that are symptom free. Students that are ill will be assessed and wait in a mitigation room until a parent/guardian is able to pick them up. Please be sure that your emergency contacts are up to date in Skyward. Students displaying symptoms will have their parent/guardian contacted and it is expected they are picked up within 30 minutes to reduce the potential spread of illness. Daily Student Schedule for Third Quarter Grades 5 and 6 Daily Student Schedule for Third Quarter Grades 7 and 8 Symptom Checker The district will provide you with a Symptom Checker document and we will ask that you use this on a daily basis prior to sending your student(s) to school. If your child is experiencing any of the symptoms identified, please do not send them to school. Additionally, if a family member in the household is going in to be tested or is in the process of being tested, please do not send your child to school until the results have come back. When the test comes back, we will follow the flow chart on the symptom checker. This is critical. In the event that your student displays symptoms identified, we will follow the protocol identified on the document. We will make it available to you on our website as well. If you are unsure or have questions about this, please contact the health office at GMS and we will assist you. Canvas and Microsoft Teams Access We will continue to use Canvas as our primary online learning portal to ensure consistency across the district and grade levels. Please utilize the Canvas access and directions support provided by our district to assist with this.

  • January 7, 2021: Newspaper Front Pages the Day After the Attack on the U.S
    January 7, 2021: Newspaper Front Pages the Day After the Attack on the U.S. Capitol Overview On January 6, 2021 supporters of President Donald Trump stormed the United States Capitol building after repeated claims by Trump that the 2020 presidential election was stolen from him. This activity provides an opportunity for students to examine how newspapers from different parts of the United States described the day’s events in headlines the next morning. Assessment This activity is designed to be an exploration that allows for questioning, not necessarily one that features right or wrong answers. If you want more material on which to assess your students for a grade, you can assign them to write a response to this prompt: Which headline do you think best captures the events at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021? Explain your choice in at least _____ [whatever number is appropriate for your grade level] sentences. Objectives Students will be able to: ● Examine and evaluate the words that newspapers used to describe the events that took place at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021. ● Compare and contrast newspaper headlines from across the United States on January 7, 2021. ● Write a headline that shows how they think the day should have been reported. ● Write a headline that they hope will be on their local paper on January 7, 2022. Activity 1. Show students the slide of the eight front pages side by side. Give students a few minutes to review the collection of images on their own. Ask them to note any questions they have, as well as at least two things they notice -- either about the front pages as a group, or about any individual front page.

  • Another 275,000 Women Left the Labor Force in January
    FEBRUARY 2021 | FACT SHEET Another 275,000 Women Left the Labor Force in January BY CLAIRE EWING-NELSON The most recent Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) monthly jobs report shows that the economy gained 49,000 net jobs in January.1 All of the jobs gained were women’s jobs, with women gaining 87,000 jobs and men losing 38,000.2 Even with January’s gains, more than 2 in 5 (44.2%) of the over 22.3 million jobs lost in March and April 2020 due to the COVID-19 crisis have not returned.3 In January, 275,000 women left the labor force, meaning they are no longer working or looking for work.4 The total number of women who have left the labor force since the start of the pandemic reached over 2.3 million last month, leaving women’s labor force participation rate – the percent of adult women who are either working or looking for work – at 57.0%. Before the pandemic, women’s labor force participation rate had not been this low since 1988.5 By comparison, nearly 1.8 million men have left the labor force since February 2020.6 Nearly 1 in 16 (6.0%) women ages 20 and over were unemployed in January, down from 6.3% in December 2020.7 Over recent months, the decline in women’s unemployment has been partially driven by women exiting the labor force altogether. The unemployment rate for women ages 20 and over is still nearly twice as high as it was in February 2020 (3.1%).8 Adult men ages 20 and over also had an unemployment rate of 6.0% in January, down from 6.4% in December 2020.

  • January 7, 2021
    January 7, 2021 Administration Dear Highland Residents, Business Owners, and Community Stakeholders: City Hall is open. In an effort to help prevent the spread of COVID-19, social distancing and face coverings will be required when entering City Hall. This may include having people wait outside to be called in if the lobby gets too crowded. Temperature screenings will be required of anyone entering beyond the lobby area. We also encourage everyone to take care of business through email, U.S. mail or via phone, if possible. We are working with the County of San Bernardino and the State to allow the County to move more quickly into later phases of reopening our businesses. I will continue to work with the County to drive the point home to the Governor that a one-size-fits-all approach in a state as large as California is not a reasonable method to re-open our economy and to allow businesses in San Bernardino County to re- open quickly. Over the last few months, we have received a lot of information from many sources regarding the Coronavirus (COVID-19). The information and directives change daily and the effects are impacting the lives of everyone. As your Mayor, I am asking that we all focus on and follow the information provided through the San Bernardino County Department of Health’s website at www.sbcounty.gov/dph/coronavirus/ and the State website at www.covid19.ca.gov. The directions given there are intended to keep us all safe and well as a community. The Highland City Council and Staff want you to know the health and safety of our residents, businesses, and community stakeholders is important and of primary concern to all of us during this Coronavirus state and local emergency period.

BACKGROUND: Each year, the Library has to make official adjustments to its original budget to account for unexpected variance in expenditures and revenues that have occurred in the first six months of the year. Most years these adjustments are relatively minor. This year they are a little more substantial because the Library had a large amount of funds carry over from the previous year that we have subsequently used to meet library needs.
