I hope you are enjoying your weekend!
I was approached recently with an amazing offer. A parent from the district has offered to assist teachers in scheduling vaccination appointments. Her name is Katie Adams and she has 3 elementary school students at Goodnow. Her children attended Richer previously.
Knowing teachers do not have the time to be on a website waiting for hours in order to schedule appointments she is willing to do this for anyone that needs the help. Katie has already scheduled appointments for several teachers. She has other parents who would be willing to assist her if the response for appointments is more than one person can handle.
Some personal information may be needed as some of the sites ask for insurance information (company, ID number, subscriber name). This all depends on the sites that are used. Kaite is finding that she can bypass the insurance information on most sites but there are some that do require it to make the initial appointment.
After talking with Katie we thought initially any interested teacher could contact her directly through email. If there is a large response to this then we might need to set up a Google form or Sign-up Genius page to make sure everyone is taken care of.
Katie’s email address is kadams710@gmail.com. Please contact her if you would like help in scheduling an appointment.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions at leenybarry@gmail.com.
This is the link to a story about the Adopt a Teacher for Vaccine Appointments that sparked Katie’s interest.
