nSide Newsletter 2020-Q1

Hi, everyone!

We recently began this push to develop newsletters that keep you current with our efforts here at nSide. At the start of 2020, our expectations for what was to come were nothing compared to the surprising quarter ahead. The outbreak of COVID-19 has swiftly changed the course of many plans, but we are grateful to be here for our community as we learn how best to care for our schools throughout this event. Our team has compiled a quick rundown of top blogs, media mentions, current events, and pandemic resources for you. We hope that featuring this media will better express our mission to keep schools safe, as well as develop a culture that acknowledges each challenging moment and celebration along the way.

If you have any questions or desire further information about these resources, our team is here to help. We not only want to supply you with the tools to keep classrooms safe; we want to empower you to create habits, execute plans, and continue training with the strategies you have in-place. If you have any concerns in regard to these areas, we encourage you to contact our live chat support team at help@nside.io.

We hope this quarter has served you well, and we eagerly await the coming months as we progress in our efforts to share this mission with you!

Below you’ll find attached news and highlights, from January leading up to March.

COVID-19 Resources

As public health news continues to circulate, we will continue assembling information, guidelines, processes, and tools to help our schools during this difficult time.
