SIATech Charter High Schools

SIATech kicked off its partnership with Movement BE, an organization that facilitates creative storytelling of students, with its first workshop on July 7. This I Am workshop empowered SIATech students to reflect on their past and current experiences to construct their own personal narratives. The students shared their poetry by posting them to an app and reading them aloud for one another in a virtual meeting room.

Scientific evidence shows that face coverings limit the release of infected droplets when talking, coughing or sneezing. Other existing guidelines remain in effect, such as the need to maintain six feet of social distancing, wash your hands frequently, refrain from touching your face, and stay home when ill.
