IMPORTANT NOTIFICATION ON REMOTE LEARNING EXPECTATIONS FOR STUDENTS

Parents and Students,

Please see the Remote Learner Expectations below. The expectations were developed to ensure students are successful during remote learning.

If you have questions about the expectations please contact Mr. Leavitt by email at bleavitt@aos94.com or by phone at 924-7670.

Tri-County Technical Center Remote Learner Expectations

1. Students will determine if they have the ability to participate in remote learning. This includes access to the Internet and a computer device. Students will communicate any needs to their instructor. Students who do not have Internet access at home can apply for a hotspot through their sending school. If students meet the criteria, they may be issued a hotspot. If a student still can’t participate, assignments will be mailed using the US Postal Service or brought to you.

2. Students will know how to connect with their instructors using their TCTC email and Zoom account. Make sure you do this as soon as possible.

3. Students will attend all Zoom class times scheduled by the instructor. Students must be present on their Zoom screens using the video and audio option. Generally, this will be 2 times per day on their tech day. This will be how TCTC tracks attendance and participation.

4. Students will know how and when they can contact their instructor during the day for assistance. The instructor will communicate this to you.

5. Students will be held accountable for attending all sessions and work assigned during remote learning. TCTC will only hold Zoom sessions and assign work on scheduled tech days. Students may be contacted on any day if they fail to participate in remote learning.

RE: COVID-19 POSITIVE CASE AT Tri-County Technical Center in Dexter

This email is to inform you that an individual associated with Tri-County Technical Center has tested positive for COVID-19. It was confirmed this morning. We have taken steps with our response team to follow the Maine CDC and DOE guidelines to notify staff and students as appropriate.

The individual who tested positive was last in attendance at the school on Thursday, November 12, 2020. Thirteen students and one staff member are now in quarantine with the investigation ongoing. Angie Buker and Crystal Greaves are contacting all staff and students who may be impacted.

At this point, TCTC will remain open for staff and students.

COVID-19 is a respiratory illness that ranges from mild to severe. It can be more severe in adults 60 years and older and in those with underlying health conditions. The virus mainly spreads when an infected person coughs or sneezes and an uninfected person breathes in the virus. Signs and symptoms include:

fever / chills ●new loss of taste / smell
cough ●congestion / runny nose
shortness of breath / difficulty breathing ●nausea / vomiting
fatigue ●diarrhea
muscle / body aches ●sore throat
headache

Please keep in mind that many things can cause respiratory illness, so students (and staff) should be up-to-date on influenza and routine vaccinations.

Sincerely,

Kevin T. Jordan

SAD #46/AOS #94 Superintendent of Schools
