Preparing for the first day of class

Faculty, please be proactive and contact your students before your first day of class and let them know what to do so that everyone in your class does not show up on day one, as your classroom will only have socially distant seating for 25-30% of students.

You may choose to do the first day with everyone synchronously online so that everyone has the same access to you, or you may assign a group of students to be present in the classroom and another group to be online synchronously. Whatever you decide, just be sure to communicate expectations to your students.
