My email stating not to report until 10am today did not arrive in my DOE inbox until 11:51pm last night. I of course did not get it until this morning.

Probably too late, but my spouse got an email on the DOE account saying that teachers didn’t need to be at school until 10am (and giving a list of alternative locations if their school was damaged by Sandy). Check your DOE account before going to work, teachers!

Just got told today will be for individual planning…but we are relocated to a school with 10 others. How do we plan when none of our materials are here and we have no access to computers? I hope you plan to have a lot of content today GS…I have a lot of time to kill.
