Good Morning,

As we all continue to work to support our schools, a concern of mine is planning for re-opening.  I've been reading about recommendations for "disinfecting returned books/materials".   This alone will be a big change in my day-to-day with books and Chromebooks circulating.  Then I begin to think about the Media Center being a community space for all students and staff and I become somewhat overwhelmed with what new procedures might be put into place. 

I was wondering if anyone has a plan or suggestions? Has administration started this conversation (or have you)? Have you thought about materials or supplies to purchase?  Protocols / procedures to put in place?

I was hoping we could collectively share ideas, suggestions, and resources to work through such changes / challenges. 

Stay well,
Jodie
