Resources for Families During School Closures

We know that there are many families who are struggling financially because of the economic impact of the shelter-in-place restrictions. We also know that families might be dealing with issues related to housing, mental health, or immigration. Our District has compiled a list of organizations that you can contact for assistance. The list is available on the District’s eLearning website.

As we continue to implement our new schoolwide expectations -- Be Respectful, Be Responsible, Be Engaged -- one of our key focus areas is attendance. We need all students to Be Responsible by arriving to every class, on time, ready to learn.

Frequent absences can be a sign that a student is losing interest in school, struggling with school work, dealing with a bully or facing some other potentially serious difficulty.

Families: we continue to ask for your help to prioritize attendance and to communicate with us so that we can help you and your students improve their attendance.
