Well, I might not be Carmen San Diego, but I am trotting all over the world of Northside. If you are on social media, read or watch the news, or noticed familiar subs in the hallway, many districts are utilizing central office folks with teaching certificates to fill-in as subs with so many teachers out due to Covid. But it is not just us. This week I have seen coaches driving bus routes in the morning, campus admin serving food in the cafeteria - there is not an aspect of school life that is escaping the impact of this surge.
Today, my 1st/2nd period block had 11 students out....
When I check-in to sub at a campus the stack of folders (one folder per teacher out) is pretty tall.
Teachers combining classes (think teacher A is at school and taking their kids, teacher B's kids, and teacher C's kids all in the library because teachers B and C are out) is happening.

We are here. We are happy (and I am eager) to help. If you see us in the hallways, say hey!
If you are a parent or community member, check-in with the kids you know. Their days maybe a little chaotic right now. Encourage them to wear a mask (we are a strongly encourage but not mask required district) and I am here to tell you there are too many kids not masking up. Schools have PPE, but send your kids with wipes and hand sanitizer to keep in their bags.
We don't know how long we will be subbing, so maybe this will be a running topic? But here is hoping that the numbers go down fast and we can get back into the swing of things.
