Seguin Daily News helps parents better understand a day of remote learning in the Seguin ISD By Cindy Aguirre-Herrera

(Seguin) -- The Seguin ISD today is sharing some of the ABC’s and 123’s on what a day of remote learning will look like for students this fall. With remote learning one of the options for students in all grades, Seguin ISD officials are providing the answers to a

few questions that some of our Seguin Daily News and KWED listeners still have. Now although some of these answers have already been made available online by the Seguin ISD in what the district is calling its Back to School Blueprint document, Seguin Radio KWED and the SDN wanted to highlight a few of those questions with their answers. Helping to provide

parents and guardians with all they need to know about making the right decision for their student and family is Sean Hoffmann, Seguin ISD chief communications officer. Leading the list of questions, of course, is one that involves the mechanics of remote learning or learning from home.

ill students be watching teachers live or will they get to tackle assignments on their own time -- more like they did this past spring when the district was forced to cancel school and students were to complete their work on a daily basis? According to Hoffmann, the district has structured its remote learning to include two principles or options, options he says will hopefully work with the different families of the Seguin ISD. “We have developed schedules for students to engage in remote learning from home throughout the school day and these are basically based on two different principles. One would be synchronous learning in which a student is logged in and engaging with a teacher, an instructor – live for lessons and then the opposite of that, I guess, would be asynchronous learning in which the teacher provides instructional material, provides a lesson for a student to do on his or her own time or (to) do during that day – kind of less structured if you will as opposed to the synchronous model,” said Hoffmann. ow does my family decide which remote learning principle works best for us? To better decide on a synchronous (live/structured remote learning) or an asynchronous (less structured) option, Hoffmann says parents are asked to check out the sample school schedules posted online via the Seguin ISD’s Back to School Blueprint. The sample schedules for all grades can be found on Blueprint pages 8 and 9. The samples schedules are also made available in Wednesday’s edition of the Seguin Daily News on page 15. “We put together a sample schedule, kind of broken down

for the elementary and then the secondary level students, those schedules are online on our website. In fact, we put together a Back to School Blueprint. It’s a big document. We are not going to hide that fact. It’s about 50 pages but we are encouraging our parents to view this resource and read it and learn to see what options are available and how things are going to look when we start school on Sept. 8,” said Hoffmann. Some daily examples of synchronous activities may include reading aloud, community talks, and or direct instruction, mini-lessons by the teacher. Daily asynchronous assignments – those to be completed independently -- may include things such as student self-selected reading and writing, independent practice and writing assignments. oes my child still have an opportunity to get in some physical activity or other coursework? In addition to reading, writing, math and other basics, parents also want to know whether physical education or other core subjects will be available through remote learning? Hoffmann says yes, various opportunities will still be available for both elementary and secondary level students. “A lot of the schedule will depend on the teacher as well as the student’s grade but again, we have those schedules posted online and again, parents are invited to look at these sample schedules and see what an elementary schedule looks like. For example, we do have a window in there for physical education during the day for our elementary school students and that can be an example where you’ve got a teacher leading that P.E class with the students who are at home. Obviously at the secondary level, we are going to have a schedule that has a focus on our core subjects in which students will be working either directly with a teacher. At your secondary level, you are going to have a little bit more (ability) and a little more time in which students can be working on their own on projects,” said Hoffmann.

Navarro student test School bell rings today positive for COVID-19 for the Marion ISD

B y C i n d y A g u i r re - H e r re r a (Geronimo) – The Navarro ISD has reported its first positive COVID-19 test involving a student. The district shared the news Monday via social media. T h e s t a t e m e n t r e a d s “ We have had a high school extra-curricular student test positive for COVID-19. The student is quarantined, and all safety procedures are in place.”

WEDNESDY AUGUST 12, 2020

D i s t r i c t o ff i c i a l s s a y t h e y encourage parents and students to be “vigilant and active” with screening for COVID-19 symptoms over the next 14 days. The case comes a few days before the district is set to launch both a remote learning and face to face learning environment for its students. The first day of school for the Navarro ISD is We d n e s d a y, A u g . 1 9 .

The district reports that the student was last on campus o n S a t u r d a y, A u g . 8 . Meanwhile, they have r e a s s u r e d p a r e n t s , s t a ff a n d other students that all extracurricular areas used by the student have been sanitized with hospital grade cleaners in accordance with the d i s t r i c t ’s d i s i n f e c t i n g p l a n .

While other districts continue to lay out their plans for the upcoming school year, the Marion ISD is set to put those plans into action as today marks the first day of school for the area district. Students in the Marion ISD will either be returning for face to face learning in the classroom or will remain at home for remote learning. Marion ISD is among the first, if not the first school district in Guadalupe County to launch its new school year amid the COVID-19 pandemic – a pandemic that forced the closure of school buildings in March.

Seguin ISD answers specific questions on remote learning

REMOTE LEARNING, continued from page 1

f I choose for my child to learn from home, what about lunch? Hoffmann says making sure children get the meals they need and deserve will still be available for all students. “I know questions have come up about meals being available for students who are at home learning and indeed, we will have meal options available in which parents or guardians can come and pick up meals for their students from a campus or from other locations. We are working on some of those finer details as far as where those pickup locations will be and we will definitely communicate those once they are set,” said Hoffmann. In addition, Hoffmann says the Seguin ISD this summer also approved the district’s participation in a new program taking care of the cost of breakfast and lunch meals for all students, with the exception of high school, no matter the family income. o we need to go school supply shopping? The Seguin ISD’s recent release of its school supply list for the 2020-2021 school year also has many parents wanting to know if they too need to go out and buy these supplies if they opt to have their kids learn from home. Hoffmann says somewhere along the way, students will need supplies but encourage families to do what they feel is best for them right now. “School supplies, if you are in the classroom, we do have a school supply list that has been posted. However, if you are home learning remotely from home, your school supplies probably aren’t as comprehensive as compared to if you are actually in a classroom but then again, there’s a good chance that many of our students learning remotely from home will be back in the classroom environment at some point this school year. So, it’s probably not a bad idea to pick up some school supplies while they are on sale with the hope that they can be used back in the classroom at some point this year,” said Hoffmann. hat about attendance and how important is it? Hoffmann says the heart of remote learning, however, might just be the ability to ensure daily attendance and check in with teachers. Many parents say they want to

know how the district plans to track attendance. “We will be tracking attendance based upon those students who are logged in and engaged during the day whether that be when they are actually working live with the teacher or when they are working on lessons on their own but again, the issue on attendance is going to be important because the state is expecting us to make sure that students know the importance of attending whether they are on campus or whether they are online this fall,” said Hoffmann. hat will be required by me, the parent, if I choose remote learning for my child? Key components to learning from home according to Hoffmann will be the ability to ensure that work is being tackled daily and that support is created within the home to help facilitate a successful start to the new year. “Parents play a vital role in a child’s educational process whether the child is on campus or whether the child is at home learning remotely. We are not going to expect any less from our students who are at home learning remotely. We understand that there will be challenges as far as connectivity and we going to try to address connectivity, but parents need to encourage their students to be diligent, to log in when they are supposed to. We realize that some of our students may be at home by themselves for portions of the day and we are hoping that our parents can help facilitate that and encourage their children to maintain that contact with their school even though it might be through an electronic learning device,” said Hoffmann. ill the rigor of remote learning be exactly like what my student experienced this past spring? Hoffmann says while the asynchronous (less structured) option will feel a bit more familiar; the assignments will be more rigorous. “Again, this is new and it’s going to be different. Our teachers are set and our campus administrators are set to go about a unique school year or at least the start of a new unique school year which will have the remote learning component as well as the classroom component but I think most of our students and most our parents are going to see that plans for fall remote learning are going to be a bit more rigorous and a bit more hands on in which students will actually be engaged in real time with their teacher who are

at a campus in the classroom setting,” said Hoffmann. f I choose remote learning, will that make my child fall behind when he or she returns to the classroom? Hoffmann says the Seguin ISD has worked hard to ensure that kids are able to receive the same level of instruction no matter how they start the school year. “I will say the one thing we did learn about remote learning this past spring was that our students are very proficient using technology. They were able to log in and do their lessons and did a great job doing that and the good thing is that this remote learning component is not something new. We may have not perfected it in the spring but our teachers and our students worked hard at it and were able to make it happen very quickly so for those students who might start the school year off at home this fall, they are going to know what they are doing when they sit down on that computer and go into Google Classroom and engage with their teacher. So, it won’t be quite as scary as it was a few months ago,” said Hoffmann. Hoffmann adds that thanks to district leadership, personal electronic devices for each student will also be provided so that families will have the option to choose remote learning without the worry of having to obtain a tablet or Chromebook on their own dime. He says no matter if they choose remote or face to face learning, electronic devices will be issued to all kids in the Seguin ISD. Again, additional answers for all questions regarding remote learning are available on the Seguin ISD website at seguinisd.net. You are asked to click the Back to School button to navigate through the Blueprint resource that has been made available. Parents in the Seguin ISD have until Wednesday, Aug. 19 to decide whether their child will register for online classes or if they will be returning to the classroom. On Thursday, KWED and the SDN will help outline some of your questions regarding face to face learning. Those questions will also include some suggestions for parents as they work to ensure the safety and health of their child this upcoming school year.

Encouraging data from THSCA summer workout survey (San Marcos) - The results of a Texas High School Coaches Association survey conducted this summer suggest that athletic programs around the state were successful in instituting and executing COVID-19 safety protocols during summer strength and conditioning workouts.

The THSCA received surveys back from 314 schools and 244 districts, accounting for 65,290 athletes. The results showed 278 postitive tests, a rate of 0.425 percent, with no deaths, only four cases traced to strength and conditioning camps, and four hospitalizations. The sample size of the survey is small, as Texas has over 1,200 school districts.

Global COVID Cases Passes 20 Million Mark

(Undated) — A whopping 20-million coronavirus cases around the globe. That’s the new grim milestone as the disease shows no signs of slowing down. Nearly 734-thousand people have lost their lives with the U.S. leading in both counts. The World Health Organization says behind these statistics “is a great deal of pain and suffering.” The director points to countries doing well in the fight such as New Zealand and Rwanda. He stresses it’s never too late to turn the outbreak around.

WHO: Seasons Don’t Affect COVID-19

(Geneva) — Global health experts say the changing seasons don’t appear to have any affect on the spread of the coronavirus. The World Health Organization said that unlike the flu, the COVID-19 virus has not shown any seasonal pattern. According to the WHO’s head of emergencies program, what is clear is that if you take the pressure off the virus, it bounces back. During the early days of the outbreak, some including President Trump had suggested the pandemic might even end with the arrival of summer.

Navy Concerned About Sailor Burnout From COVID-19 Governor Kemp Won’t Order a Mask Mandate at Public Schools (Washington, DC) — The Navy’s top brass is concerned about sailor burnout during the coronavirus pandemic. Admiral Mike Gilday tells NBC News the Navy is forced to keep ships at sea longer than usual with fewer port calls. Gilday says the service has been able to maintain carrier deployments, but will have to make adjustments if the pandemic drags on. More than a thousand sailors were infected with COVID-19 aboard the USS Theodore Roosevelt earlier this year in an outbreak that sidelined the aircraft carrier for two months.

(Atlanta, GA) — Georgia Governor Brian Kemp says he won’t order public schools to impose a mask mandate. Speaking at the opening of a large COVID-19 testing site at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport, Governor Kemp says it’s up to superintendents to impose rules on wearing face masks. It comes as a recent photo from an Atlanta high school went viral, showing students packed in a hallway with no face masks. That school has now reported nearly a dozen students and staff tested positive for coronavirus and is now holding online classes for a couple of days. The governor has been outspoken in his calls against a statewide mask mandate.

COVID-19

Tips to protect yourself and others • Wear a mask when in public. • Practice proper hygiene, and wash hands thoroughly and frequently. • Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth with unwashed hands. • Keep a distance of 6 feet between you and others when outside your home. • Cover your coughs and sneezes with the crook of your arm. • Avoid crowded public areas and stay at home if possible. • Do not shake hands. • If you exhibit symptoms, call your doctor BEFORE going into the office.

Nash John McElyea Nash, III passed away August 8, 2020 at the age of 70 in Seguin, Texas. John is survived by his loving wife of 37 glorious years, Teri MyCue Nash; his children John Nash, IV and wife, Laura; Amy Nash Dahlke and husband, Robert; Andy Nash and wife, Rebecca; Amanda Nash Robbins and husband, Bailey; grandchildren Emily and Tilden Nash; Jacob and Jade Dahlke; Casen, Whitley, and Elliot Grace Nash; and Baby Robbins expected in February. He was also survived by his sisters Naomi Nash Drummond and husband, Chuck; Martha Nash Bartlett and husband, Marty; sister-inlaw, Karen Gordon; step-mother, Connie Naugher Nash; Sue Hodges and husband, A. G., mother of John and Amy; sisters-in-law Judy Johnson and Merry Douberly and husband, Ed; brothers-in-law Jerry MyCue and wife, Carol; Scotty MyCue and wife, Jacque; numerous nieces and nephews; loving family members, and a plethora of loving friends. John was preceded in death by his parents, John and Polly Nash, sister Polly Anne Nash, his brother Kenneth Andrew Nash, inlaws Roger and Arline MyCue; brothers-in-law Jimmie Johnson and Dick MyCue. John was born on August 17, 1949 in Berkeley, California to John

Nash, Jr. and Pauline Fawcus Nash. The family relocated to St. Louis, Missouri in the early 1960’s fueling John with a love for baseball and the St. Louis Cardinals. He later graduated from Lindbergh High School in 1967 and began classes at Central Methodist College. This is when John realized that school was getting in the way of his education and as he explained it, “I was working at the restaurant too much to go to class. I was a terrible student.” Perkins Pancake House in the St. Louis area, as well as the U.S. Navy/ Marine Corps Medic, kept him busy until 1978 when he moved to the Seguin area to help his parents manage the Greenery Station Restaurant off of State Highway 123. John didn’t like things not done so he finished college as a wellseasoned, non-traditional student in 1993 with a bachelor’s degree from Texas Lutheran University. Through the years, John kept his community fed by owning and operating several other restaurants in the Seguin area: Depot Cafe, River Shadows, Walnut Creek Diner, and Johnny Mac’s Bar and Grill. His ability to mentor the young minds is something that always seems to come up in conversation when speaking to others about John Nash. He loved telling stories, fishing and hunting with his family, managing his longhorns, talking to friends, and talking to strangers that would often become friends. It was known throughout that you better have some spare time if you ran into John. He loved family vacations to Angel Fire, NM, Lake Amistad in Del

Rio, TX, and the Texas coast. He often bragged about his kids and grandkids as “champions--every one of them.” To fulfill his faith, he was an active member of the First United Methodist Church of Seguin, serving as chief lawn man. To support his community, he was involved in the Geronimo Lions Club serving many offices (including the Lion King) as well as managing the First Friday Feasts each month. To continue his patriotic duty, he served as a boat captain at the annual Warriors’ Weekend in Port O’Connor, TX. John’s cremated remains will be enniched, in a private service, in the Columbarium at Knolle Chapel of First United Methodist Church in Seguin with the Rev. Cathe Evins officiating. A public celebration of his life is being planned at a later date. John based his life on his faith, his family, and his friends. To quote John Wayne, his hero, “I’ve tried to live my life so that my family would love me and my friends respect me. The others can do whatever the hell they please.” That was you, John Nash. You were an icon to many. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations can be made to First United Methodist Church, 710 N. Austin, Seguin, Texas or the Geronimo Lions Club Scholarship Fund, 135 Oak Springs Drive, Seguin, Texas, 78155. You are encouraged to sign the guest book at www.treshewell.com.
