[aisle] remote student book pick up

Wed Sep 16 11:55:11 CDT 2020

For those of you leaving carts with books for students in bags in your
school vestibules, are you at all worried that students will take or touch
books that are checked out to other students? How many days a week are you
offering this? Are you still teaching classes, too? We are running into an
issue while trying to figure this out because our students are 100% remote
right now, and they have homeroom meetings and lessons every morning and
then specials (library, music, art, and PE) in the afternoons. When we are
free to do curbside in the mornings, they will all be in meetings with
their teachers and can't get away to pick up the books. If the students had
the time in the afternoon, we will all be teaching back to back classes
online. We are K-5. Are you doing curbside checkout for all grades? We're
working on coordinating this for all 5 of our elementary schools in our
district, but we're having troubles with the logistics end of it. Has
anyone else run into these issues?

Thanks,

>>
>> Any thoughts? How are you doing book pick up?

>> Thanks!
