Frequently Asked Questions
-
Do I Need a Computer or Chromebook at Home?
If your child needs a digital device for use during the school closure and you do not plan to send your child to school Monday, you must pick up a device at your child’s school by the close of the school day Monday. By Monday afternoon, we will share a list of resources that your child can access to enrich their learning at home during the initial school closure. Students are NOT required to complete assignments through April 5, but we encourage students to access the resources to keep their minds engaged. If schools are closed beyond April 5, we will communicate our plan for instruction moving forward.
All resources that will be given can be used on any computer desktop, laptop, or Chromebook that has an Intenet connection.

About Covid-19
Although the spread of COVID-19 appears to have started in China, it is important to remember that Coronavirus infection is not connected to any race, ethnicity, or nationality. We will not make assumptions about a student’s or staff member’s risk of illness based on any of these factors. Misinformation about coronavirus can create fear and hostility that harms people and makes it harder to keep everyone healthy.
