State Rep. Julie Calley today joined the Legislature in approving a bipartisan agreement to help get Michigan students safely back to school – whether it’s in-person, online or a hybrid approach. Calley, of Portland, said the plan will allow school districts to work with local health experts and determine the best course of action for students, teachers and families in their communities. In-person attendance is not required at any grade level, but it’s strongly encouraged for grades K-5 when it can be done safely. “As a mother, I completely understand the tough choices parents, teachers and school leaders all across our state are facing,” Calley said. “We all want to make sure our kids are safe, and we strive to do what’s best for their educations. This agreement will provide local school districts with the accountability and flexibility they need to maximize student learning while keeping kids safe during these unprecedented times.” Calley said providing parents with the opportunity to voice their concerns is crucial to keep the school district and community informed of needed adaptations. Under the plan, school boards will reexamine and recertify how their districts deliver instruction to students at monthly board

meetings for the duration of the 2020-21 school year. Additionally, benchmark assessments will provide detailed information to parents and teachers about where a student needs additional help to ensure they stay on track. Additionally, Calley said the plan will provide stability by clarifying expectations for schools for the duration of the 2020-21 school year, rather than starting the school year with parameters from an executive order set to expire at the end of September. As the coming school year will also pose significant additional costs to school districts as they work to impose new safety standards and innovative teaching methods, the Legislature previously dedicated a total of $583 million in federal Coronavirus Relief Funds to Michigan schools, including: An additional $350 per student across the board, ensuring schools have the resources they need to educate children. More than $50 million in hazard pay for educators who have been flexible and innovative in the face of unprecedented change. $18 million for safety measures and local benchmark assessments to ensure kids stay on track with learning. The plan now advances to the governor’s desk for consideration.

The Sparrow Senior Navigation Hub addresses the needs of a booming senior population and is part of Sparrow’s Population Health efforts. Population Health involves tending to the health needs of Mid-Michigan residents throughout their entire lives and outside the walls of a hospital or clinic. “The great thing about our Senior Navigation Hub is it’s really a one-stop shop for seniors in our community,” said Alison Rewa, BSN, RN, Manager, Clinical Programming, Sparrow Population Health. “It’s one of only a few in the nation associated with a healthcare system and was driven by interviews with our community members and the needs they identified.” For more information, go to Sparrow.org/NavigationHub.

Sparrow Ionia Hospital, Ionia County Health Department to hold COVID-19 testing in Portland PORTLAND, MI – Sparrow Ionia Hospital and the Ionia County Health Department are combining to offer COVID-19 nasal swab testing at a special one-day event in Portland on Wednesday, Aug. 26. The testing will be held from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at First Congregational Church, 421 E. Bridge Street, Portland. A nasal swab (or PCR) test determines whether or not you have an active COVID-19 infec-

tion at the time the sample is collected. It’s a molecular test that is reviewed at Sparrow Laboratories. Over 300 people were swabbed at similar events held recently in Ionia, Belding, Lake Odessa and Saranac. Residents can attend without having a doctor’s order in advance. No money will be collected onsite and Sparrow will bill those with medical insurance. “One of the most effective ways to contain any epidemic is

widespread testing,” said Ionia County Health Officer Ken Bowen. “We encourage anyone who has symptoms, who may have been exposed, or who will be returning to work to get tested.” “The goal is to protect the communities we serve as our county and state begin to reintroduce people back into the workforce. Sparrow Ionia Hospital has been working collaboratively with the Ionia County Health Department to ensure the health and safety of

Shopping for school supplies once entailed stocking up on pens, pads and notebooks. Students today still buy many of the same items, though they also now stock up on electronics. Technology and education now go hand-in-hand. For students to find success both in and out of the classroom, the right tech can make all the difference. • HIGH-SPEED INTERNET: Connectivity is key in a digitally driven world. Students need access to the internet for homework, lectures, email, entertainment, and much more. The faster your internet speed the better. According to the resource HighSpeedInternet. com, streaming videos on a single device or web browsing requires between five and 40 Mbps. Downloading large files or using multiple devices simultaneously requires high speeds. When accessing the internet via smartphones, make sure your plan has unlimited data or provides enough data to ensure interruptions do not occur. • LAPTOP OR NOTEBOOK COMPUTER: Laptops and notebook devices are similar in that both offer many types of software preloaded that a student will need. The devices seem interchangeable, but there are some differences. Laptops are generally larger than sleek, light notebooks. Notebooks are sized to fit easily into backpacks. Notebooks tend to have minimal features, including less RAM capacity and slower speeds, helping to keep their costs down. Some notebooks may have very small amounts of hard drive storage space, requiring users to purchase external storage devices. • HEADPHONES: Most schools now require students to have their

own dedicated pair of earbuds or over-the-ear headphones so that work conducted on a computer does not disturb others also working on their own devices. Headphones also can make it easier to hear and comprehend videos and other digital lessons while doing homework. • C H A R G E R S / B AT T E RY PACKS: Devices must maintain power to help kids learn. Students can benefit from having a backup charger or battery pack to maintain functionality on their devices. • STORAGE AND CHARGING BASE: Keeping electronics neat and accessible for the family may mean rethinking countertop or other storage spaces. Charging stations hold multiple devices and allow them to charge simultaneously. • TOUCHSCREEN PEN: Many notebook and laptop computers have touchscreens that respond to pens/styluses and make drawing or writing on the screen more detailed. • PRINTER/SCANNER: While many schools have adopted paperless formats, there may come a time when printing an assignment or report is necessary. A quality ink-jet printer can fit the bill. A scanner to scan photos or documents also makes it easier to complete assignments. The above are just some of the many gadgets that can assist students with their studies.
