Are classroom Valentine's exchanges out of the question? 😭
RE: Covid in VBSchools:
Am I the only one living under a rock and did NOT realize that if your student is in a classroom where there has been an exposure, you may not get that phone call?! Only students within a certain distance of said positive person will be called?!
Maybe I over looked this info but only now am I realizing this is what is happening bc I have now been apart of this exact situation.
I’ve also recently learned that at least certain classrooms (within my children’s schools not sure if this is every school) are NOT being cleaned/disinfected bc they have not found a proper/safe product where the time needed for said product to work properly and be wiped down between class changes. Said product was leading to infections where exposed to skin so they just pulled it told teaachers to stop using it and NEVER offered another option.
Was everyone else already aware of this?!
Can someone please explain parentvue to me. Especially, the gradebook part. I'm also trying to figure out how many SOLs my hs junior has to take. I have conflictimg info from her counselor and her VP. We transferred from a different state and she started at the end of Sept. What is an "hour or instruction"?
Can we do this in VBCPS? Our neighbors, Chesapeake Public Schools are doing this, Cape Henry Collegiate is... it sure would be helpful. SO many of us teachers and school employees cannot get appointments scheduled! I’m sure VBSchools and the VB Health Dept can work this out! Please?

Vbcps website is down. The main link to the home page comes back as a run time error. Every other link, via Google chrome also results in the same error. Husband has the same issue. Its not the browser. Its the website.
VBSchools the website is down and cannot access covid 19 dashboard after receiving email to check it.
Does The school system really think it's safe, for our children to return to school ? I as a parent don't think this is the right thing to do. I don't play Russian roulette with my child. I feel we as parents should have the option on continuing Virtual.
Is tomorrow, 01-26-2021, an asynchronous learning day for high schoolers?
I am a retired school custodian and I am now a substitute custodian will I get the vaccine when the rest of school employees get it.
I listened to the last 4 hours of the board meeting. I am a mother of 3 elementary students that attend VBCPS with one that has special needs, I am also a military spouse whose service member just deploy for the second time since the original shut down in 2020. I know that in the 4 hours I listened to the meeting not once did anyone mention the affects on the local military families. If I missed it in the beginning I would love to know and get contact information, if not, I would appreciate it if I could speak with someone regarding advocacy for the military families that are in this district. With the extremely high military presence in the Hampton roads area and with a local aircraft carrier(over 6,000 local service members) deploying the very morning of this vote I was shocked that in the 4 hours I did listen, not a peep was mentioned, good or bad, regarding the military families. I am not trying to start a debate I just would like to know if I missed it and if there was no mention at all, I would love to be able to start the discussion or at least bring this to the attention of the school board.
