001okay so it looks like we're live all right welcome everybody i'm still trying to get used to this stream yard and not be able to see everybody i'm talking to but make the best of it uh so first i just wanted to say uh right now i'm actually i'm feeling like the the head coach of a championship team full of all-stars who just got his contract extended right a really good feeling uh getting appointed the principal of the school i gotta say one of the things that you know separates championship team from regular old teams is how they deal with adversity and challenges that are bound to come up i think as a team we've done a great job so far of handling all that this year has thrown at us you know we really
002rallied together supported one another and we're going to need that even more now that we're transitioning to in-person learning so what we're going to talk about today you know we're going to give an overview of some health and safety stuff and some of the other details we've been working out and continue to work out about the return to in person so i mean you're gonna you know for some of us it's gonna lower our anxiety a little bit for others it's gonna raise in some areas we want you to you understand and trust us that we're trying to take everything into consideration and answer all your questions and pay attention every detail because we're all have the same goal in mind of having students have a safe and meaningful experience when they give back so
003as we're going through this when you have questions we're gonna have a q a at the end and we really want folks to really pay attention to what's going on in the information that's being put out so if you can limit the chats back and forth also appreciate that and so now i'm going to just jump into kind of the agenda and what my portion of it for this afternoon and so you're going to hear from you know the admin team you're also going to hear from ben from facilities also robin and then again at the end you're going to have time to answer some questions ask and get some questions answered so you know as i said one of the things with a lot of the information one of the things that i've been
004getting a lot of questions about and what i've been hearing has been raising a lot of people's anxiety is about mask wearing and how we're going to address students who aren't necessarily wearing their masks things of that nature and so first off obviously the adults who are going to model what good mask wearing means and for the students a lot of times when if they're not wearing a mask or wearing it correctly we're generally going to start out with a conversation we're going to try to find out what's going on with them why aren't they wearing a mask and if it happens again then they are going to be told that you know this there they don't have to be in person if they want to be here they're going to be expected to follow
005the protocols because we're trying to keep everyone safe this message is going to be given to all the students and the families when we have our family information health and safety information session on april 28th and also once the details are worked out of some of the things that we're talking about today and still trying to figure out it's also going to be sent the families as well so we'll have it in writing and we're working out and thinking about potentially even having almost like a sign off on some of the key elements and expectations that students are going to expect to do it here to if you have that signed off when they first get here and like in eight periods of kind of like an introduction to being back in the day and
006for the first day and also of course with adults we're going to want y'all to be outside as much as possible especially for like your lunch breaks things of that nature if you're just socializing and with students you know again some of the stuff other folks are going to talk about about what the day will look like and some of the key expectations around mass breaks and uh lunches and things of that nature so if i'm jumping around a little bit i apologize and whatever i miss out i'm sure that my team will help fill in the blanks okay so i'm going to move on to the next part so we know folks are going to be coming back on may 3rd and we're really going to try to create a really welcoming environment for
007them and welcome back all the folks that are here some sort of mini celebration of for the folks who are able and want to come back and we're going to figure out the details of that but for a lot of you who want to be involved in that it may involve as many of us as possible being outside kind of greeting everybody as they get here you know we'll have some music playing try to create a festive environment to welcome those folks we're gonna be back in the building welcome back here and also part of the welcoming back will be obviously your classrooms and how they're set up so the week of the april 26 that first week after the break that's going to be a time when you can take a day or two
008and make that asynchronous and come in and really set up your classrooms the way you want again trying to create that welcoming inclusive environment keep in mind of course that you also be teaching folks at home who will be virtual and the folks who are right in front of you i'm gonna leave that up to you how you want to schedule that but again we're thinking like a day or two asynchronous and then you can figure out when you want to come in if there's specific needs you'll have especially around maintenance please let me know that and then i can let the maintenance folks know because right now the plan is throughout those days that week of the 26th to have at least one maintenance person kind of designated each hallway to help with moving
009stuff but if you're gonna if you realize there's gonna be a lot of stuff that you're going to need to move around and rearrange the more of a heads up you can give me i can let don and his guys know and slowly be better prepared to help you along with everybody else who's going to need help getting settled in and reacclimated to their spaces at that time all right and so also one of the things that we're going to do and trying to welcome back some of the folks especially those who haven't been in the building yet like the 9th graders and the folks new to our district is to have what i have been calling an orientation but it's actually going to be more like a tour one of the reasons it's not
010going to be a huge informational orientation session is because we're really not going to be able to provide transportation both ways for students so we don't want to make it a big thing that a lot of folks are going to you know who can't get here are gonna miss out on so we do wanna offer the opportunity for some students who haven't been in the building yet to come in and be able to do tours we'll have a few different times like maybe nine some folks can show up for ten o'clock or at noon or 11 i mean and they'll come in and it'll be a tour we have a bunch of students who will also be are willing to give those tours and kind of do the you know what i wish i knew
011as a freshman kind of talk with a lot of them as they're giving the tours we'll give them their schedules and i'm going to make sure that all the students are involved in that whether they're going to be part of the tourist or the tour guides to let all of you know so you'll understand why they're not in your class at that time um those are the kind of things i want to start out with ran through them kind of quick again we have a lot of stuff to go over in limited time this is a lot of information i believe all these stream yards are recorded and you can access them through the uh our arbs um channel right now i'm going to turn it over to mickey and she's gonna talk to you
012about some other stuff thanks okay hi everyone um so we wanted to give you a sense of what the day looks like many teachers right now are teaching three classes and um the other half of the faculty are teaching two classes and so we want to as we thought about how to structure things you know we kept that in mind in terms of what a teaching day would look like so teachers who have a period will you know come in and teach their a period and then b period teachers will teach their b period and then we've actually devised an entire master's schedule just that begins on may 3rd that tells you exactly what the responsibilities are um after b period so this is itemized per person and after this meeting i'll be sharing that
013with department heads to have them take the first look at it and then we'll share it with everyone so the more the most important features will have two lunches so when students have have lunch the teacher will also have lunch and the students will leave the classroom and there will be no teacher in the building who will be supervising any students in their classroom during lunch because you'll be eating at the same time that the students were who were in your b period were eating so um administrators and um you know will certainly seek the help of you know potentially counselors the dean you know where our goal is to get students outside and eating outside on days if it is pouring rain and that absolutely isn't possible and we're also getting a tent set
014up outside as well um we will have you know spaces six feet apart in the cafeteria we'll you know utilize areas like um hallways and so forth so we just wanted people to know that students will not be eating in your classroom in fact you will have your classroom as a place if you need to eat there you're also of course welcome to leave para educators can certainly team up with teachers and utilize those classroom areas again like if it's pouring rain and leaving the building is not an option but we just wanted to let you know that then your students will be finished eating lunch if you had first lunch the b period students will come back to the classroom and if you are a teacher who is in your three you actually will
015not have those students someone else will cover those students for you so we have a couple different approaches we have some people who only have one or two students b periods we'll be teaming up but again that's itemized on a spreadsheet that we've already created so that will be a 30 minute prep an additional prep for teachers that are teaching three if you're teaching two you will have your b period students when they come back from lunch if you had first lunch at the same time let's say that number and that number tops out at about 16 however students who have academic skills aac or d period will not be with you b period because they'll be assigned to those other places so we're also doing a schedule for that as well so that number
016will only shrink it will not increase and then if you have the second lunch then when b period ends if you're in your 2 you keep those students and then you all go to lunch together if you're in your three somebody's either gonna come or leave you or your students will be sent to another room and so we'll work that out at the individual level so i just i hope that's really clear that that you are not going to have students in front of you eating lunch in your classroom and then the d period um teachers and there's there's a small number of you that have d periods instead of having your b period you actually will have your d period students and again that number tops out at 14 i believe most of those
017are single digits you'll have those students during that time so we'll talk through that um after this we will send a google meet link to d period teachers if you would like to talk more about what that will look like so i hope i didn't confuse you my goal is to provide some clarity around that that block and then also last thing i'll say is in terms of numbers so we're expecting 457 students a period that number d increases by c period the most the largest number of students in the building at a time is during c period right now um 477 so when you think about dividing that group in half for lunch you know it's about 225 students eating lunch at a time okay so i know ben has another meeting so i'm
018going to turn it over to him right now thank you thank you so for those of you that don't know me which i imagine is the majority of you my name is ben harrington i'm the assistant facilities director and uh i'll be giving you a presentation today about hey in the background there i'll be giving you a presentation about our custodial protocols and procedures and then hopefully i'll have a little bit of time to answer any questions you guys may have so if we could get there we go all right so we can all right so the most important thing to know well one of the most important things to know is that our custodians during this whole pandemic have actually been trained by the company that that uh provides us with the chemicals that
019we're using and they've been trained in a hazardous communications training which basically means they know how the chemicals work and how to use them safely and how to store them safely so we can move on to the next slide there we go what we're using is electrostatic sprayers to sanitize the school buildings right if you go to the next slide what it shows is that what happens is the chemical travels through the hose out through the applicator and is positively charged so that it'll wrap around any negatively charged item which is pretty much everything that's grouted in your rooms so it might look like they're just spraying things but it's actually attaching itself and wrapping around the entire desk chair or handle so you can you can skip past the next one it's just a
020video of a real sciency guy explaining what i said a little bit more sciency that you can skip past it it's hard there we go so we're using is green clean and hypochlorous acid to uh to sanitize with they're both extremely effective against sars cove too uh covid and uh they're both fairly safe to use if used properly and not in high concentrations if we skip to the next one if you see here this is really like their sales pitch but it's actually it actually has the instructions on the bottom here just look in that green part where it says that you apply the solution with a spray device yada yada and then allow to air dry no rinse required that's why if you remember back in march prior to us abandoning ship you saw
021the uh there was like a chalky substance we actually wanted that there there's a difference between clean and sanitized we're going for sanitized right now so we can skip ahead there if you look all the way at the bottom it gives the dwell time that's how long the product needs the chemical needs to sit on a surface in order to kill the cyrus cove ii virus in in the solution that we're using is slightly under 1100 parts per million uh 1076. you can scooch to the next one this is the other chemical we're using everybody knows about this right this is what all the cool kids are talking about these days so we really don't need to explain that too much right we all know what we're looking at here i'm joking next slide what
022that is is the hypochlorous acid so it's 100 organic we actually are making this on site it's really just water uh non-iodized salt and electrolysis and it pretty much makes this this uh this product for us to use and we can generate it daily as needed if you fast forward ahead what it is is your body makes this same exact chemical right so a virus comes in pathogen comes in your immune system goes on red alert sends out the neurofills it surrounds the pathogen it creates this hypochlorous acid and then kills the pathogen that's exactly what we're doing on your doorknobs desktops and other common touch to touch points if we go to the next part yay science so this is probably a little bit more relevant to elementary school so i'll just explain that
023we have protocols for specifically for for uh bodily fluid cleanups in a covid era right somebody bleeds in your room uh i don't know vomits these sorts of things if you skip ahead that's a quick this is a brief summary of it if you're really interested in this kind of stuff i can go ahead and fire out an email to you you can read up on that we'll go to the next so as i said earlier our primary focus for what we're doing and this is going to shift a little bit to let you know that there's been new cdc guidance regarding the fomite transition transmission of viruses so we're slightly less concerned with services we're still concerned with surfaces so we'll be mainly sanitizing and disinfecting right and the idea there is to just
024kill whatever surface whatever viruses may be lying on the surface and it's not just viruses we're not just worried about covert right there are other things that can make you sick it's kind of what our custodians do on a consideration in the future for it's what our custodians do on a regular basis the important part here is that our restrooms will be cleaned at least twice daily and then somewhere in between they'll be getting another round of sanitizing so we'll go on to the next one so and what we've been doing all along is basically keeping track of every time touch points have been sanitized in your building right we want to know what we're doing that that works and what's not effective right and this is one way that we keep track of that
025it also lets allows us to keep track of our daily schedules and so that we know that you know the entire third floor of the high school has been sanitized three times two times or whatever move on to the next one it's a lot of writing there so the uh we also have a larger document that has everything that we're doing right down to the you know the chemicals we're using to clean mirrors right every administrator every head custodian has a copy of this comprehensive document that's available for you if you'd like to read through that as well i can email that out very proud of that it's the uh war and piece of cleaning so what we need from you all is simple cooperation right if something needs to be cleaned we should know
026about it it shouldn't just be the complaint form right we all have to work together to create the safest possible environment that's that's what we're all shooting for here next one that's pretty much yeah so and then one back this is also very important every school has a ppe depot that's where you'll get your ppe in basically you know hand wipes these sorts of cleaning supplies the custodians are not supposed to be supplying that to teachers and i i believe the um talib or or one of the administrators here can correct me on this but i i believe it's your administrative assistants in the office that are handling your particular ppe depot that's who we'll we'll be doing the ordering from and we'll continue to replenish those supplies move on to the next one so
027the other thing that we ask of you all is that at the end of the day regardless of the setting that you have your air purifier set to just so you know on the lowest setting it's still effective and you can you can go ahead and talk to your class and be heard at the end of the day if you could turn that to the highest setting and make sure the rocker switch is turned to on that's the uv lights that way that we can ensure that our staff is safe to enter the room later on and actually finish the rest of their job you can go to the next one the other thing to be aware of is the uh you'll see wall mounted and stand mounted hand sanitizers if you see one that's
028that's low or empty feel free to reach out to the custodians or the office and have them reach out to the custodians we definitely need to make sure that those are always operating hand safety is important this is the most important part if you see something say something that's kind of like what i had said earlier we we need to know we need to know everything that that involves us to do our job as best we can right we're again trying to keep the safest environment possible for our students here if you don't feel comfortable talking directly to a custodian or your administrative staff here on this last slide i think this is the last slide that i do yep i time that right that's my information you can feel free to reach out to
029me at any point just so you all know i i believe more in the corrective than the punitive i'm big on problem solving that's that's kind of my niche so you can always reach out to me even if you just want information i mean you want a funny joke for the day i can do that too so it's pretty much all i have and i have a couple minutes for questions if anyone has questions sweet we'll give it a minute though because it takes a it takes there's a delay um with youtube it looks like there's a did i miss something you're welcome [Applause] say all core classrooms do have air purifiers the main office should have one is that that correct between there is a uh here if you're finding the main office yeah
030and then i believe like in uh like the counseling suite in some of the more common areas and office suites there are purifiers yeah i'd have to yeah it all comes down to the uh the report we got from nexus consulting it's broken down by area and for your building i mean there there are hundreds of entries so it's hard to kind of recall off the top of the head and i'm not sure if the warren piece of cleaning is available on amazon but i can get it to you for free it's what i do but we'll be going through what to do with the classroom between classes in terms of seeing it so okay that now i'll get the the amd part okay so basically what you guys would do is is wipe down
031surfaces that that you personally are concerned about right we don't we don't need to do mass sanitizing between classes it's it's a matter of comfort based on our guidance from the cdc there's not a a heightened it's not like they got a heightened threat from surface-borne transmission of the virus right so if you have a student who eats eats lunch there absolutely wipe down the surface it's just a matter of basic right sanitary uh functions right sanitary practices right so that that's really all we're doing that that'll be mainly with the alcohol wipes there was guidance before that that we weren't supposed to use alcohol wipes on electronics i've spoken to jerry champagne absolutely okay with us using the alcohol wipes on electronics so those surfaces can get wiped down like that we leave the
032air purifiers so the placement of the the air purifier in the room is not it's not super important right that it's it's going to turn over 250 or 285 cubic feet per minute of air regardless of where you put it right my personal preference if i were the teacher is to put it somewhere where the sound would be less of an issue but other than that you can go ahead and put it anywhere in that room and it's going to do its job where did i miss i think i agree with jim's diff no so the the the gyms they they have air purifiers as well they're just gigantic they're called hepa 2000 they're it's the same thing you have in your room essentially it's just a gigantic version for our gigantic space what else
033when we ask students this really needs to be a teacher job it's not i mean it's personal preference as far as uh wiping down having kids wipe down desks if you're gonna have a kid eat in a class i would highly recommend that just in terms of i mean we have issues with rodents and these sorts of things that we don't want to fester hallway air purifiers and air circulation we're not expecting people to be in hallways for greater than 15 minutes so that's it's absolutely not necessary to have purifiers in the hallways here's the next one [Music] so i would say yes you can put a box fan in a window facing out i would prefer that you not do that right because our systems are working as designed right and they are not
034designed to have a box fan in the room per se if that makes you personally feel more comfortable or your students feel more comfortable go for it just make sure that it's pointing that the airflow is going out the window not in and we're not dragging more pollen and these sorts of things from the outside that's another thing that we need to kind of be considerate about offices have the health office does not it all depends on the uh so so rooms that are not core classrooms that are not expected to have you know students in there regularly it's all going to depend on the airflow of that specific room so and off the top of my head i don't have the the nexus numbers for that room windows closer windows open personal preference one
035thing to be aware of at this time of year is we do have there's there's the pollen factor so it is better to have more fresh air in we also want to be aware of the fact that that you know we also we have a maintenance folks that will be out there cutting grass certain folks have allergic reactions to that i would kind of suss out your particular group of people but you want the windows open go for it more air better yeah again this is another matter of comfort i would say running running the ac unit when it gets super hot i would advise that that's that's how i get down but um in in terms of safety it's not really affecting it at all i feel like i missed the question on the
036other side here if i if i missed anything you all can email me and i'm i'm really approachable i'm good with people i'm nice all right so i have to run and go give the same exact spiel to the middle school right now so see it's been great talking folks ben appreciate it thank you ben yep no problem okay so now i believe um robin i think you're up hi um so i'm robin one of the nurses i'm here with my comrade mary who is going to be a socially distanced masked six feet away when i do this presentation but i just wanted you to know that there was someone in the room with me while we're doing this okay so um the nurses put together this um powerpoint that is currently on the arp's
037website it's been shown at all the schools so um i'm going to go through it kind of relatively quickly it was it was made for district purposes so there are some points that are going to be addressed that are probably more relevant to the elementary school but uh we can answer questions as needed and um it was developed when we were following the state uh massachusetts department of public health the cdc guidelines and in collaboration with the amherst health department so you can go ahead and move on um yeah so together we can do this uh slow the spread together and then you can go to next um so it's important to know what kind of mask to wear you probably already have this information um basically we don't want people to wear uh neck
038gaiters or the masks in the red they are the unacceptable masks our masks with a filtration system on that um the problem is they're just not really protective so we are going to um have available at school the uh kind of light blue treatment or surgical masks we also have some kn 95s available we do not we will not be providing the n95 respirator masks because that's um a mess that requires a custom respiratory fit program that we do not have go ahead um so there are we do have a handful of students that are in our school that have mask exemptions and kids can qualify for a mask exemption with approval from their health care provider and and basically the kids with developmental issues and the goal of these kids is to be able
039to build up tolerance so that they can wear masks for longer periods of time but uh you could see some of those kids without a mask and we do have documentation in the nurse's office the thing everybody needs to be aware of is that if you're working with a student who has a mask exemption then the staff member either needs to wear safety goggles wrap around not just reading or eyeglasses safety goggles and a face shield and we have those available in a minute i'll get to the ppe supply but we do have um that available mass breaks i think uh tyler might be addressing that obviously during eating and drinking kids and staff need to not have their masks on and outside if they're socially distanced is another time the kids can have masks
040off hand hygiene is pretty basic i think everybody uh has this information as ben was saying we do have sanitizing stations in all the classrooms what we're asking um for people to do is during transition so if you're moving from one classroom or one space to the other sanitize your hand the custodial staff is the one to be notified if we are running low on sanitizer and they need to be refilled okay um so social distancing um the uh recommendation what we're gonna be following at school is to try to keep six feet distance whenever possible that's that's our standard use ben went over some of this so i don't really want to repeat but um the window is open that kind of thing to to help with air circulation okay um so families will
041be getting either a text or an email from central office uh every morning reminding them to check their child's health status and to contact the school nurse if they have any specific concerns at school we do have a program available it's called binax now by abbott so if somebody becomes symptomatic while at school that would be a student or staff member we are able to do a rapid antigen test and get a result um within 15 minutes there's a protocol that we follow but basically if somebody meets the criteria to be buy next tested they will be sent home there are places available we have information if anybody wants to know about places you can get tested if you're asymptomatic and that's um the mullen center and some local cvs is you need to have
042a scheduled appointment to be able to get that asymptomatic testing done but we are able to do the symptomatic testing for students or staff while at school um if you are home if you wake up in the morning and feel like you have symptoms or this message has gone to students too uh we don't want you to come in symptomatic and ask for a test we wouldn't be able to test you we want to keep anyone who is symptomatic outside of the building and uh yeah basically um the if you're sick stay home contact your health care provider contact tracing is something that mary and i have been doing for over a year with the amherst health department so we follow um quarantine and isolation guidelines that are set forth by the state department of
043public health and by the cdc um it's really going to be important for teachers to be able to keep a tight track of attendance because we may look to see when a student was in or out seating charts are also important to keep track of a seating chart and the bus drivers have been advised of this too so we can we can hopefully find out where a student sits on a bus if somebody was symptomatic and on the bus we do ask that staff sign in there's a sign-in sheet in the main lobby that helps us know who's in and out when in the event that we need to do contact tracing when the when the sheet the sign-in sheet for the day is uh done it comes to the nurse's office and we keep
044a hold of it for a while in the event we have to backtrack a couple days and look look to determine who was where and when people are just so that you know people that are considered uh close contacts are people that have been within six feet distance for more than 15 minutes of a positive case uh school nurse visits the state is asking that we limit school nurse visits um so this is kind of a funny message coming from the nurse um we are not able to have kids come down we used to have a lot of kids come down that need to take a break or need to take a nap or whatever we're not able to do that anymore because we did have to cut down a couple of spots to be
045able to remain social distance um in the nurses office so we just have three spaces for kids available um each staff member will be given um kind of a mini first aid kit to keep in their classrooms and we're not asking anyone to do any major first aid in the classroom and if you're in the middle of something that's important you can definitely either radio mary or i or call us at our extension everybody's going to be given a little red card like this that has the extensions of the nurse the main office and actually um the dean's office if you need to contact for any reason um we are also currently working with a cna a certified nursing assistant we do have a medical waiting room which is actually room 13 up across from
046the auditorium and that is for students or staff who become symptomatic during the school day so if you have somebody who meets the criteria of symptoms you can either call us on the phone or radio down to us and mary or i or the cna will go up and get that student bring them to the medical waiting room um and and then from there make a plan which would include you know getting a history of symptoms contacting a parent potentially doing a bi-next test making um a decision about disposition from that point but we will be working with a cna in our medical waiting room with that uh drop off and pick up um i don't know if tab if you want to address this a little bit later um but obviously we're not we're
047not having parents bring their kids into the building um i i think i might have you handle this um talib in case there's anything that i'm not aware of um as far as who's who's gonna get dropped off where and what the process is for coming in and coming out of um the school building all right yeah uh the next slide is about traffic flow signage the custodial staff has um marked all the floor waves there's signs on the walls just reminding people to stay socially distant and there's kind of a one-way um traffic flow that we're trying to make possible i know co-mingling in groups is going to be probably an issue with high schoolers but we'll have to address that as it comes up again reinforcing the social distance six foot mask wearing
048okay uh eating and drinking uh this was addressed a little bit earlier um students and staff are encouraged to bring their own water bottles actually the district purchased a supply of water bottles for all the students they are going to be handed out in the a period class on that first day on may 3rd drinking fountains uh we're asking people to use them as water fill stations only and not um and not uh actually you know drink from them and uh and tal did go over the plan for staff and students to eat when it's school so the shared equipment issue is really more of an elementary um concern and the cdc has recently changed their guidance about this about what needs to be um cleaned and how often you know basically we don't need
049to clean every item all the time if you're working in a situation where a student is across the table from you and another student is going to come in we would obviously recommend cleaning that surface one of the other things that the custodial staff is able to do if you have a concern about something that's been grossly contaminated you can leave it out with a note and when the custodial staff comes through in the evening they have that spray system that they can spray down uh whatever it is that you feel like needs to be cleaned things like library books those kind of things are not not the concern that they originally were thought to be okay uh so the ppe we're going to have our depot in room 13 which is the medical waiting
050room and i know that the clerical staff are going to be the people that's in charge of that there's a system that's been set up through maintenance so if you need something in your classroom and we're really asking people or classroom or office we're really asking people to kind of monitor the supply because if you realize that we don't have something right away we're not probably able to get it we need to give the maintenance department a little bit of lead time to be able to get things back to us but there is an email address which is called a r h s office at arps.org and if in the subject line you put ppe request one of the people in the office will be able to receive your request add it to the um
051google form that goes over to maintenance and in the meantime hopefully we'll have some some back stock in our medical waiting room the cna there is going to be able to monitor that for us and um we can get supplies um but but the nursing here in the nursing office we don't have supplies we're not going to have extra things it's going to strictly come from um from the medical waiting room one of the things that's uh important to note here is they're asking people not to bring in their own cleaning supplies because there's concern about all sorts of chemicals and those supplies and the mixing of the chemicals in the air so it's kind of a funny thing to say but we're asking for alcohol only in the classrooms which means alcohol whites not
052bleach wipes there's another wipe that's been out there that the district ordered that has a different chemical we hope we've removed them from all the classroom but when you come into your classroom make sure that that your supply of um wipes surface wipes is alcohol-based and if not i know that they have ordered that from um the main maintenance office so hopefully we'll get that to people in need soon okay uh travel guidance i know this is also a big issue um with april break next week we've gotten all sorts of calls um and emails asking for guidance about whether they people can can or cannot go somewhere so at the moment the governor has issued a traveler travel advisory and that's what it is is an advisory i know that that got put out
053um on the district website so if you have if you are going to be traveling somewhere uh you can check the guidance there's uh the state and cdc has a link that has uh kind of answers to questions that are a little bit uh out of the norm but um you know we're we're not going to be policing where people go over april break we're asking people to just do the responsible thing for themselves and that's about it you know this is definitely i'm going to say been a work in progress things continue to change on a routine basis so we're keeping up with it as best we can and know that we are working as i said to follow the cdc and the state guidelines and working closely with the amherst health department okay
054thanks robin uh so people will be notified of um and unfortunately this is just gonna happen it's it's what's out there right now people will be uh notified if there's a positive case in the building uh but there won't be any specific notification to anyone unless you're determined to be a close contact so that's the purpose of our contact tracing we obtain information in a lot of different ways no case is straightforward there's always a twist and a turn when we do contact racing so we will be contacting anyone who who needs to know if they've been in six feet distance for more than 15 minutes of a positive case um so i think i might have just answered that uh jonathan but if not again um anyone who is determined to have been within
055six feet for more than 15 minutes of a positive case will be notified that their potential that they're a close contact and then they'll be given information this is sort of we work hand in hand with local health departments so if if this is a situation a positive case that's in amherst we'll work with the amherst health department we have people staff and students that are not working uh living in amherst so we'll we contact that health department and collaborate together um as i said there isn't a straightforward answer about number of days for quarantine and isolation periods it it depends on a variety of factors but anyone who's determined to be a close contact of a case will be notified uh vaccine status yes uh vaccine status uh is a great thing we don't
056have the right to ask anybody what their status is uh we don't have the right to ask kids families uh whether they've been vaccinated or not that's a personal decision um so but that that that will make a difference chris to answer your question that will make a difference depending on exposure and how we proceed if somebody's been vaccinated yeah and then i'm sorry that's the other issue they will need to prove that they were vaccinated by showing us you know uh documentation that they got vaccinated uh yeah okay these claims just for cleaning the whiteboard uh i would assume that the regular whiteboard cleaner that we have had been using is something that that we can continue to use sarah for whiteboards you know i am not 100 sure um isopropyl or ethanol alcohol
057ben would be there yeah ben would be the one to answer that specific question about what kind of alcohol but i think the point here is that we're just asking people to use the wipes and cleaning products that we've provided somewhere in the patient um uh danielle i don't think we're gonna have any three-foot teaching classrooms given the number of students that are coming in um sorry robin to put in but that scenario is not um we don't have that scenario so um you know six feet of six feet that's what we're going to go by uh we always err on the side of caution if somebody is you know five and three quarter feet away or or six and a half feet i don't know we'll make a general decision when those situations come
058up but six feet is kind of what we're going by it's definitely what we're going by um they may be because of the definition of the close content anyone who's determined to be a close contact will be informed that they're determined to be a close contact so we do contact tracing only inside the school building and and that's what i was referring to we work in collaboration with either the um ctc which are contact tracers from the state or the local health department depending on what the local uh town is using and we work together to to collaborate to see who we have determined to be a close contact anyone who is considered a close contact will be informed their close contact to the case and then we'll be out for a period of quarantine
059[Music] um so if you need to quarantine or isolate uh you need to stay home and um hr manages the use of sick time um i don't know if talib if you have an answer to that specifically from hr i don't have an answer specifically from hr also they definitely don't want to contact about how that is being managed if it's a your general sick time or if they have special code sick time days yeah so just my experience anecdotally because we have had positive cases in the district um that hr is very reasonable to work with about accommodating people um from their time off if they need to be in quarantine in isolation they can't be here some people i know have been doing remote teaching in quarantine students have been learning uh remotely
060in quarantine because they're feeling okay the issue is that they can't be in the building so you know that's a great question and we are just going to have to work through these these situations as they come up who will be tracking keeping track of that you know it may be the case we may need to ask the case uh who they've been eating with we're asking people that are monitoring lunch periods to as best as possible i know the reality of the situation but as best as possible make sure people because when they're eating they're without masks make sure people are staying six feet apart and so if you are more than six feet apart of somebody was a positive case then you wouldn't be considered a close contact because the six feet uh
061is a determining factor there uh the community will be informed when there's a positive case in the building and the teacher may you know depending on a lot of circumstances may be informed if we need help with contact tracing it's a it's a fine line it's a balance that we have to walk between um protecting the privacy of somebody who's clothed positive student or staff and protecting the health of the community so it's a balance that we have to walk and um during times of pandemic you know we don't hesitate to do what we need to do to gather the information to ensure the safety of the community yet on the other hand you know we're not going to be publicly announcing anyone who's positive or anyone who's a close contact can we use them
062um you know i i'm gonna have to turf that question i don't know um yeah so it's my understanding that the weight room has been tested and it's clear to use so it's just a matter of cleaning the equipment having wipes in there and i would suggest having the students clean after they've used a certain help the bench or bells or whatever but it has been i'm tested and okay for use uh so pool testing rule and that's something that we piloted this winter and uh to be very honest we didn't get a great response um there's a certain number of pool of uh samples that need to be in a pool we couldn't even at times make up a full sample so there were times that mary and i just kept pulling ourselves to
063round that out so we decided as a district if we didn't have a high enough percentage of people to participate in the pool it really wasn't going to do a whole lot of good uh for us and what we were finding anecdotally is that people were saying oh no i signed up for it but i don't really want to do it because i've already been vaccinated so at this point we are not doing pool testing and we're only doing it for staff and yeah and we were only doing it for staff at the time that we were doing uh so that's a great question karen um so call the nurses definitely if there is any question about health situation but if a student we actually had this uh discussion uh the other day here if
064a student just needs to take a break uh i don't know that we've had a space identified i know there are students who are given pink passes to be able to leave when they uh need to take a break and i don't uh i think that's been determined about where students right well i'll jump in the desert so one of the things especially for those students who have the pink passes and can leave for breaks when they leave for a break if the person that they're going to see whether it be their their counselor a guidance counselor or the nurse and they're not those people aren't available we're going to have some chairs in the main lobby area spaced out in between the guidance office in the main office for students to sit there and
065wait for a certain amount of time until an adult can really talk to them but this is one of the many things we're trying to finalize was this is our initial thought and like everything else it may change and we may have a different protocol for those students but for right now we're going to have a designated space for them to go and when as we get closer to being back in person we'll make sure that all families know where that is and how to use that space so i think given the time um it's one to 124 and we still have a lot to talk about i think i'm going to go ahead and move on um if that's okay with y'all um thank you robin that was a lot um you've been shouldering
066a lot and we really appreciate you so i just i just want to thank you publicly because you have been handed an enormous task um so again if we have additional questions we'll try and answer more at the end if we can't get to them all you can send them to tal than mickey and i and we will get to those so my job right now is to talk a little bit about oh yes and mary mary i'm so sorry mary you have to poke your head in say thank you to mary o'brien as well thank you mary love you mary okay um so my job right now is to talk uh about the what a classroom will look like and um what will teaching look like and there are there are a bunch of
067things to talk about here um with two categories uh one category being what are the rules in the classroom right so we've covered a few of those but certainly not all of them and then what's the pedagogy right like what's actually gonna work here so i'm gonna start with the rules because i think they're clear and i think they're simple um and so the first rule as i i think tom and mickey have mentioned if you're teaching an a period class you'll need to be here at 8 30. we'll send out more information about when you'll need to be in the building if you're if you're a teacher so the rules are a little bit different for teachers and para educators um so but if you need to be here for a period class you'll
068need to be in in the building at 8 30. your classroom the setup of the classroom the students all need to be facing forward and desks placed six feet apart as you can see in the chat there's a bunch of people that are concerned about three versus six feet um there's really only one class in the building that has more than 16 students and he knows who he is and we're working through that and most classrooms can um will have six feet distance um with 16 students or less okay if you believe that your classroom doesn't fall into that category um get in touch with us but we've done a bunch of measuring so please speak up if that's the case um so again facing forward six feet apart um the if you're sharing materials
069like in a science lab et cetera we do want to try and clean those between uses okay i i'm going to encourage you all to ask students to do some of that cleaning okay you can you can um supervise that like we supervise everything there's going to be no eating in classrooms except for teachers and para educators during that lunch time so no students are going to be eating in class no snacking no eating um as well as drinking in class we're giving we're providing water bottles with straws okay and we need students to use those water bottles those straws can slide up behind the mask and so they can be drinking um using those water bottles with straws other water bottles that require you to take off your full um mask to drink we
070don't want students to be using those do you have something to say about that mr city i do yeah so the water bottles that the district has provided us to give to them aren't the original water bottles with the straws that we planned on it so if they can they're just gonna have to try to be quick about it and lift the mask and not decide to take it all the way off but yeah it's gonna be this is this we gotta work with what we got and for right now this is all right um we'll talk through that one um right that wasn't what i wanted to hear so no nose blowing in class all right if you have to blow your nose you're going to have to go out of the classroom to
071do that into the bathroom or outside so we're not going to blow our noses in class teachers will have a an extra stash of masks um for students that show up wearing a neck gator or wearing one of those masks that are sort of deemed unacceptable or if their mask breaks in class so we will you'll have an extra stash of masks um so those are the in class rules um we're stepping away from this idea of mask breaks right we are not in elementary school with cohorts we're a high school and so mask breaks in class can be problematic and particularly with high school students oh why is your mask off well i'm having a mass break i think none of us really want to deal with that so if you as a teacher
072would like to create a time during class every day where you want students to have a mask break i'm encouraging you to take the entire class outside spread them out and take off their mask for five or ten minutes okay but that's up to you if you see that a student is struggling they can take off their mask in front of the window facing the window another option would be to ask for help from the outside and someone can come retrieve the student and take that student outside for a mass break okay but in general i think we're going to step away from this idea of mask breaks um that's a loophole and we know that teenagers love loopholes um so i'm going to move away from the rules now into pedagogy because i think
073a lot of people are curious about this how is this going to look um and to be honest we've got a challenge here and the challenge is that half of the students are remote and half of the students are in person and so what that means is you we need to attend to the remote students as much as we're attending to the students that are directly in front of us and that's a challenge and so what you're going to have to do as a teacher is you're going to have to um face your students in the classroom looking at your laptop facing out they're all facing you if you remember that classroom setup again not our favorite setup for teaching we all know that none of this is so using your laptop facing forward um
074facing the students and you're going to need to teach using google meet right so what this means is that all students will have to have headphones with um with a microphone they they were handed those with chromebooks and so we will write home about this to make sure that students have those um because that's pretty important to those who are handed out with chromebooks so again you're going to be teaching very much like you're teaching right now okay and i know that's not ideal and not everybody wanted to hear that but in the scheme of things we really need to be equitable and again since half the students are in class and half of them are out i think that's the way we're going to have to run it so using using the board using
075the whiteboard will make it really hard for remote students to stay um to hear what's happening and to be able to participate and to see what's happening okay so i'm going to encourage you again to use things like jamboard and pap padlet your shared docs your shared slides and again all of the remote practices that you've been really accustomed to so this brings a lot of it and technology questions forward which i'm fully aware of and we've been working through them and this is hard so i just want to give you the update the technology update um that is ha is adding new higher speed access points for wi-fi so we did a little assessment of the building and where all the access points are so we're adding additional access points and then access points
076are going to be boosted um again access points are where the wi-fi where you connect with the wi-fi and most of them are out in the hallways the access points that we had in place for the second and third floor were sufficient to run for the most part to run mcas okay so that's the good news we did discover that there are places other other places in the building that will need additional access points um is has also added additional drop an additional drop in the front of the building so that there's wi-fi outside out sort of in front of tom's office but also out front of the athletic office so that whole front of the building has wi-fi outside there is also wi-fi in the back of the building um so that was added
077and there's also wi-fi in the courtyards okay and so that's the good news we will have wi-fi there in order to um create additional outdoor space what i've asked for is i've asked for a collection of hot spots for each department i can't say how many right now i've asked for eight to ten per department i don't know that i can pull that off but we're going to try each hot spot can manage eight students so let's say you've got 16 students you'll need to borrow two hot spots from your department head so my idea right now is that those hot spots will live with departments and you'll sign them out through department heads okay i'm still working on that one that one is a little bit tricky um we may discover at times that
078the wi-fi isn't working well right you're you won't be surprised by this because this happens um and so there there are a few strategies that we're going to use we're going to ask students that students may have to turn off their cameras um students um we're going to ask students to not connect their personal cell phones to the school wi-fi right they're going to have to so that's an important thing and so that does jam up our signal a little bit so that's a little bit tricky um and we'll that'll be sort of part of classroom protocol um so if the wi-fi really if we are really struggling with with wi-fi teachers can project their computer which has their remote students up on the whiteboard so that in-person students can see the remote students but
079the opposite may be a challenge right so it may be a challenge for the remote students to see students in class depending um on whether or not the cameras are on or off and mike thompson points out that there's no change in protocol there however you may actually have to ask students in class to turn them off okay um what we've we also may need to do for a while is teachers are going to need to do all of their uploading and downloading of documents and files before and after school and so i just got the okay from mike morris one of our hopes is that you know if you are if you have a prep right you are welcome to go outside for that prep you're welcome to leave the building if you have
080an a period prep i would encourage you to do your prep um outside of the building so we can re you know we can maintain our bandwidth and have fewer people downloading and uploading um while in the building um let's see i'm sure you'll have one million questions i'm gonna move on i'm gonna leave that tech update because there's i have a ton to say but um i think that is enough for now given our time um a question about tents so we have asked for additional tents it's a little bit challenging given um the site that we have but we've asked for a tent right outside of the lunchroom we've also asked for a tent for band and chorus and band and course are going to get the priority for this because otherwise they
081actually can't practice um because they do need to be outside to play their instruments and to sing um and so more on tents later um bathrooms are a little bit up in the air so i may go ahead and skip that because we're struggling with that right now to sort it out um good move yeah yeah we're going to skip that week we're on plan c right now and we'll get back to you when we have a solid plan um do you want to leave that with the rotunda question as well tom for right now yes please okay so bathrooms rotunda we've got like four scenarios running we're trying to sort through all of them um and it's it's complex but we want a system that will actually work um so we're gonna have a
082pretty pretty careful protocol for students that decide to shift from in person and back to remote okay because we're going to need to track who those people are so we're going to have folks fill out forms families fill out forms so we can track that because we anticipate that students will want to go from in person back to remote we are not allowing students to use lockers no lockers right because lockers with lockers you have sort of congregating and we're trying to to reduce congregating um in the hallways so i think that's all i have until i come back to all these questions because i'm sure there's 100 of them but i want to turn it over to um it looks like mickey who's going to talk for one minute about substitutes yeah or even
083less than a minute because the reality is is we just don't have substitutes um and we just have to acknowledge that you know they've tapped as many people that are willing to work across the k-12 district and as you know in general it's tougher to get substitutes at the high school level so our plan for substitutes is to have to collapse the in-person classes which is why we have we have spreadsheets with data on like how many in-person students are in every single class or you know across the school building at any given time and um we will identify large larger group areas to spread out desks six feet apart where there might have to be three or four different classes depending on what the need is in those areas and then those students will
084be working on asynchronous assignments this is a time where if you are in your two and you have any interest in in assisting us and are willing you know to sub definitely send your name to terry like she does every year she'll be making a list of um anyone who's willing to help supervise and you know again like i know the it's not even worth mentioning the pay differential i think you know there's a very small one but but if that's something that you're willing and able to do we greatly appreciate it but otherwise our plan is that those students will be collapsed into those classes will be collapsed into settings so that they can all work on asynchronous work and that's really the best you know i think that we can come up with
085at this point all right so i'm gonna go all the way back and look for questions um so use of lab materials is acceptable as long as it's in type between usage the answer to that is yes the real question is what will students at home be doing do they have those same lab materials do they have the same plan in place so that's sort of the question that i would ask when thinking about that the headphones thing so we will write home we will ask families to reach out to us if they need us to provide them with headphones so if they don't have headphones we don't we can't actually afford to just like you know give all students another set of headphones so we're going to ask families we are also going to
086have to ask families and students to come prepared every day they're going to have a packing list right and this packing list is going to include things like headphones pencil all of the things that they need and it's an extra mask i think we could get a few extra chargers but the challenge with that um is that students can't move their desks right to another place in the room when they're charging their chromebooks and so it's really important that chromebooks are charged and i think you and i we all understand that that that's going to be hard students are going to come without a charged chromebook and you know our plans come crashing down so the the packing list is really important and i think for executive functioning purposes at the end of every school
087day teachers are gonna have to say look at your packing list make sure you charge your chromebook um and and this is gonna have to be a little bit of a culture shift and maybe that will help us in the future and so sarah points this out too that the chargers are a big thing and a lot of a lot of students want to keep them plugged in all day long we can talk about some extension cords because again we can't move desks um you know in classrooms to give the student next to the charging station um so okay that's headphones again um so you will be using your laptops robin um the you'll be using the laptop that was assigned to you um and those laptops will be you will have a hardwire connection
088for your laptop right so you will be you're not going to be using wi-fi for your school issued laptop um yeah sean i'm gonna work on that one that one's tricky um [Music] so right now um we don't have a lot of extra space for breakout spaces and for special ed specialists but that's actually on our list so one thing that you may not know is that we have a enormous document going um a spreadsheet with all of these concerns on them and so we're choosing not to go over every single one of them because it's already passed um but that that is on our we're working through it um um let's see so students always need to use the bathroom when they get to pe how we'll handle the situation well this is this
089is part of our bathroom conversation we'll get to that when we talk about bathrooms um i was told that i was going to be using wi-fi for my laptop yesterday uh only if it's a personal wi-fi it's only if it's a personal laptop right so if you have a school issued laptop you're gonna hardwire that um let's see did i miss anything okay uh allah this is a good question what if someone is in person feels sick and wants to come to class remote what if they just stop okay so those are two separate questions if someone is sick they should come to class in um they should come to class remotely absolutely that's the good news if someone just stops coming to class that's a separate question right and so then you'll have to
090enact the student support network for that guidance counselors etc we have that's a separate plan those are two questions oh jeff if we want to teach outside are we able to run meat from laptop outside so um that's an excellent question we need to give priority um for directly outside of the building wi-fi for ensembles and singing because they need to be outside every day um it's one of the reasons i'm trying to find get us hot spots right so hot spots will run eight students at a time so the hope is that you'll be able to take one or two hot spots outside and yes run um your meat from your laptop outside right so and you know we're not gonna micromanage the outdoor space right so if you do have hot spots that
091day and you want to go outside you'll have to go outside and actually walk around a little bit and see where the best spot is um i don't know if you want to add to that tall but that's sort of what we're thinking we can't do sign ups for outdoor space that's just too complex right so that pretty much sums it up a little more generally so around the edges of the building where the wi-fi reaches the people who have to use you know laptops chromebooks to stay there if you're having a discussion or reading a book i encourage you to go find a field we want the track and the practice field next to it that's gonna be reserved for pe but pretty much any other field of football field up front lacrosse field
092out back the little hills along the side of the building the road leading down the middle school wherever you can find a spot to set up shop outside um yes so ethernet cable that when i say hardwire that's what i mean um so there are ethernet cables in classrooms provided to staff to use with the school supplied laptop paddy you and me can you plug in your personal laptop no so you you can use what you can use them for wi-fi but you can't plug them into the hardwiring you can't use the ethernet so you and i will be figuring that one out together among other people so ben i don't know what this is or what it person was that said this but this is wrong so you will plug a school laptop into
093an ethernet cable and it will be hard wired okay so i'm going to leave just another minute for questions um i'd like to be able to give a positive fun update on graduation but i'm a little worried about time what do you think mr sadiq yes we've been going on for a little while but uh you'd like a super quick summary as we wait for a few more questions to come in sure do you want to go ahead and do that sure so for right now a few of the bullet points so it is going to be at look park we're sending out a survey to seniors to find out some of the details right now it's looking like the seniors will each have five guests allowed in look park it's gonna the graduation ceremony
094itself will take place in the pines theater there's six pavilions around the park that we've also rented for the day where we'll have a screen and it will be streamed the ceremony will be streamed to the family members at each of those six pavilions we'll be getting in touch with as before some volunteers there's not going to be a whole lot of um of our faculty and staff who will be there but there will be some of us who'll be there to kind of help manage the day it's going to be like an all-day event a rehearsal some lunch the families come graduation some more food and then a dance party slash our version of a prom after at the end of it i don't want to fill in anything and i miss them no
095but we are looking for six folks that are that think that they could um successfully run a projector from a laptop to a big screen on each of the pavilions so if you are someone that like thinks that would be right up your alley and want to hang out with 150 family members outside we need you um hopefully this will all work it's really exciting it feels like it's it's a great solution um and so far the students are pretty pretty excited about it i'm gonna go back to questions now um yeah mike you know i just saw that question i love that question it's a hard one so i the i can ask so not all of the desktops have been removed and i haven't gone through to do um an analysis of every
096single room um and so i will do a little bit of investigating and find out because i could ask them to leave the mouse i think in general additional equipment is probably not going to be possible but i would love for them to be able to leave monitors for you all i also think that teaching from a laptop and then an additional monitor might be tricky for students in the room to to see you but um i'm going to work on that one that one is a really interesting question and i um i think we all need to note how hard it will be for kids to have no snacks no phones few breaks little spaces for choices ah yeah i hear you i and that's why we're trying to sort of create celebration um
097and excitement for return but alyssa yeah you're right um you're absolutely right but again we're talking about a dangerous virus um i don't need to be flippant but i i think we have to be the rules need to be really clear um because students are so um likely to look for loopholes and there may be students that have been asked that been sort of asked to come back by their parents but necessarily didn't really want to be back in person so we may have some um some reactions to that and some people pushing the limits but we're really going to work hard on a culture of health and safety and caring for each other and honoring each other and caring about each other and it really is going to be our job as a community
098to keep each other safe um okay i see that looks like ella answered this question um yes yes patience compassion for each other and our students for yes and jeff acknowledging this it's it's it's giant right none of us are pretending it's not giant it is a big deal um i think yeah so different chargers extra chargers all of that's going to be tough i'm back to um our packing list is going to have to be um you know very important and parents and students are really gonna have to pay close attention to that packing list um because we can't function in many cases without it um yeah will these rules be available in differentiated translated for family format yup yes absolutely absolutely okay so yeah i saw that translated um yep that's one of
099the things i said that's going to be part of sort of classroom protocol so um they won't be able to you they won't be able to connect um their phones to wi-fi they're going to have to use their sell signal um yep patty you're pointing out a problem i'm aware no not so it doesn't they don't do so well so i think we're gonna have to um create maybe some charging stations um yeah we're gonna have to work on this this is this is a challenge um karen i like this explicit clear rules boundaries are always ways to love care for and support others i love that yes i agree i agree 100 on that one i think i'm going to end with that what do you think i'm going to call that a thank
100you um and please um let us know have you if you have other if you have additional questions and concerns because we do have an enormous document that we're pushing through all the details um and it's a mammoth document and every single question is really important to us right we don't want to um belittle or lose track of any of your questions and concerns because they really they really do matter to all of us um we want you to feel comfortable and safe and excited to come back um if you're coming back and anxiety is hard right so if the entire building is anxious it will um it will be projected and then students will feel it and so i think it's really important that we address all of your concerns um and i don't
101know if mr sadiq if you said this but i keep calling him mr sadiq because honestly i've done 100 family so we're um the 28th we're going to set up a an opportunity for faculty to process this together this idea of returning a person in small groups before we return because we want you to have a space to really talk about your anxiety to talk about how this is going to feel and we don't want to ignore the emotional um uh emotional side of this the compassion as karen points out and you know people at some level are panicking and we and we understand that and we want you to know we understand it and we want you to have a place to really talk through that all right so we've definitely gone over the
102the scheduled time appreciate everybody hanging in there and for all the work you continue to do so i think it'll be good to have that time for us to have small group discussions on the 28th about other concerns and again before we get to that point if you have other thoughts ideas concerns suggestions please let us know we'll do our best to answer those questions or to implement implement the suggestions that you've made into the overall plan hope everybody enjoys the rest of the day and get out in the sunshine and i think we're going to meet with the period teachers briefly in a separate meet that i think was sent directly to those teachers if not mistaken yeah a calendar link was set and i promise it will be very short all right take
103care everybody see you soon
