      Glad I got out in the woods a little this morning. The rain is starting here.

        At the moment no events will be published if they are to occur between now and the 24th of April. If state restrictions are extended then so too will the event moratorium. There are a few events that are currently on the books for a few days after the April 24th shelter in place expiration date; those events are in danger of being canceled. The reviewers will attempt to provide a two week notice prior to archiving any events.

        Thanks, Lostby7. There has been some confusion about that. My understanding is that an event that was scheduled for after April 24, lets say May 23 for example, would still be published at this point. Others read the policy as saying that no events would be published until after the restrictions are lifted, regardless of the date that the event is planned for.

          Why are 50% of my answers to student questions “Read the directions.”?

            Gotta define boundaries better. Yesterday I had a student video-call me in Google Hangouts at 7:00 AM and I was helping students until 5:30 PM. This is NOT vacation, no matter what anyone says.

            I haven’t tried Hangouts yet. Is it hard to set up? Our little bird was found btw. She was broody on a nest of 14 tiny eggs she had laid up in a nest she made in our hayloft that is really a vinyl siding loft. Working on clearing brush today along with answering emails from parents and kids in response to a message I sent out yesterday. Not sure how much learning is going on, but there sure is distance.

            No, it is pretty simple, and most of the kids already know how to use it.

              It’s apparent from the lack of posts that the thread stealers don’t have too much on their minds…we have only one thing on our minds šŸ™

              I’m afraid that you are correct.

                      Oh, sorry, do we need to keep a social media distance of six hours between posts?

                      No, but there can’t be more than 10 people in the foum at the same time.

                        Distance learning begins tomorrow. Yesterday and today were all about getting ready.

                          FTP for the first Sunday of the Covid-19 crisis. Hope everyone has enough toilet paper and clorox wipes to weather the sh!t storm.

                            Got our census questionnaire in the mail yesterday. Filled it out before I logged on here. For my family of four, it took less than 5 minutes. Interesting that there wasn’t a paper questionnaire to fill out, they give you a website and code to access the form online. Yesterday was my last day of census job training. If you don’t do the online form, someone will be paying you a visit in mid-April to get you a paper one to fill out. For now, we are going around and dropping off forms at places that either don’t have mailing addresses (PO box, I think) and other places. We went to the area around the golf course west of Green Lake yesterday. Lots of vacation homes & trailers, no people, naturally. So many families will be showing up to their cottage ā€œup northā€ and finding forms hanging on them long after they filled out the one at their main home. We found out as we were leaving that we’re not supposed to approach people now, just hang stuff on doors and then leave. Reminds me of all the campaigning I did 10+ years ago! Worst thing about yesterday, besides hanging forms where we know nobody lives, was having to drive past all the caches around the golf course. I’m looking forward to my vacation from work starting on Thursday. That gives me plenty of opportunity to get 40 hours of Census work done each week! Plus work around the farmstead. Maybe some caching too.

                            What are your district’s expectations during the shut-down? We are expected to provide distance learning for our students. That’s about all we’ve been told so far. I don’t know exactly what that means. We have a work day on Monday, so hopefully by the end of the day we will have a solid plan.

                              Where did everyone go ? It’s Pie Day.

                              I don’t know about everyone else, but I went to get some pie and caches.

                                FTP for Friday the 13th. We have the day off of school. Not because of Covid-19, just a scheduled day off that was put into the calendar in case we needed a make-up day for weather cancellations. We haven’t needed to cancel at all this year, so we get today off.
