Enhancements to the Elementary & Secondary School Online Learning Platform

Through Robot Technology, Swivl,Lincoln students who are at home will be able to view the teacher through live streaming and screencasting while the class is on campus. In addition to our other online teaching tools, students in different time zones will be able to view recorded lessons online. This technology will allow students to be connected to the teacher through attending class, live broadcasts and recorded sessions.

Swivl Robot Technology

The Marker provides a microphone and a signal to follow for the robot.

As you can see, the the Ipad captures and

broadcasts the image, sound,

and video.

This is called a Swivl. It is a robotic tracking and

recording system that allows a teacher to walk around the

room while the device follows the teacher, recording

or broadcasting the video.

Facilities Use

During our time on

campus, students will take full advantage of the

Lincoln School facilities including the pool,

gymnasium, turfed playing field, outdoor courts and

Public Health Resources: Campus

Campus Safety Enhancements from US State Department COVID Grant Funding

Public Health Resources: Sanitation Stations

With personal hygiene as a focus, we have installed a variety of resources to promote

student, teacher, and staff safety on campus.

Public Health Resources: Training

The Lincoln School Response Team and Public Health Specialist, Dr. Bernadette Kumar have conducted in depth safety training with all Lincoln School Staff.

Education and training will remain an important aspect of building skills and capacity among Lincoln School staff

and students.

Public Health Resources:Transportation

Plexiglass Shields have been installed on all our buses to separate the driver

cabin from the passenger cabin. Buses will carry

reduced student numbers to ensure

safe distancing. Temperature checks will be conducted for

all transportation access and safe

ventilation will be prioritized.

Shields on buses are effective in providing:

● Safe separation between the driver and passenger cabins.

● Distancing barriers to help reduce exposure and cross-contamination.

● Effective solutions against droplets from coughing or sneezing.
