McClintock Miller discusses how students, teachers and families are now settling into their time apart, as educators plan how to learn, teach and connect with one another online. “One of the first things we thought about as a district was how to stay connected to our students, to let them know we miss and care about them, and as a way to share messages, stories, little project ideas, health tips, Spanish lessons, art challenges and other fun things during this time,” McClintock Miller says.

Since one of the most important things was to “keep things in one place and easy for families to follow,” she created “Virtual Vibes From Your Van Meter Teachers” on a digital platform. Grade-level teachers, for instance, can use it to communicate with students and provide lessons.
