Communication

Good communication drives our attitudes, knowledge, and passion. Good communication calms uncertainties, misunderstandings, and negativity. Good communication provides clarity, support, and success! The following online platforms will be utilized as the district’s main communication platforms:

Administrator and Teacher Google Classrooms:

These resource classrooms provide information concerning tutorials, important documents, and tips and tricks for successful communication and implementation.

Collaboration

Now, more than ever we are reliant upon each other for support, and sharing of ideas to make our communication with each other and delivery of content to our students the best it can be.  With the challenges and uncertainties that lay before us for Online Learning and Remote Learning, COLLABORATION success will only come by being ONE DISTRICT, instead of 13 individual schools.  A District of administrators and teachers willing to COLLABORATE will make our Online and Remote Learning successful for the main reason we teach - OUR STUDENTS!  An individual may be successful without collaboration, however, why add extra stress during one of the most stressful times in our lives. Let's look at the following online platforms for collaboration:

Cert Assessment (7-12)
Flocabulary (Pre K-12)
Lexia (K-5)
NWEA / MAP Assessment (Pre K-12)
Reading Plus (6-12)
WIN Learning (6-12)

Consistency

Consistency from the central office to district individual schools, and from individual schools to each other brings us to foundational unification for the sake of logic, accuracy, or fairness.  Floyd County individual schools are strong, but when we are foundationally consistent in our communication and collaboration as a district we strengthen who we are as an educational leader among our students, families, community, state, and nation.  The following information details our foundational platforms for Instructional Technology success for administration, teachers, and staff:
