Access to Learning

Teachers and staff have made initial connections with students and their families through phone calls. This week and in the coming weeks, please look for more communication and information (phone calls and emails) from your child’s teachers about your students' access to learning. Please note, because many staff are not using district phones and are not on site or in our schools while these calls are being made, the calls will likely be noted as “caller unknown” or “blocked caller” on caller IDs.

Access to learning for all students is the district’s academic goal during school closures necessitated by the coronavirus outbreak. It is intended to provide equitable engagement opportunities for all students. As a district, we will continue to make adjustments to our students’ learning experiences as this situation evolves.
