HCS will utilize APR ESSER funds to purchase instructional materials, supplies, assessments, as well as Fine Arts & Music resources for 2021, 2022, & 2023 school years through 9/30/2024 to enhance student achievement due to the learning lost which occurred during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Materials, supplies, resources, and assessments will consist of but are not limited to the following:
· Collaborative classrooms, Spire, SIPPS, Star Reading and Math, SLIFE resources (EL), Freckle Math
· Paint, sheet music, canvas, craft supplies, instruments, easels, paper,
To prevent the spread of COVID-19, HCS will utilize ARP ESSER Funds to purchase additional instruments for individual classroom and extra-curricular student use. The additional instruments would allow full student participating which lessens the learning loss when instruction is interrupted due to the disinfecting and cleaning of instruments which are normally shared with peers. This preparation will mitigate the spread of COVID-19 within the classroom setting. In responding to the COVID-19 Pandemic, trailers will be purchased to prevent the spread of contaminants when borrowing transport equipment from outside sources.
