August 14, 2020 Update - Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know when my child should log in for school on Tuesday, August 18, 2020?

Regardless of the program, teachers will be sending emails to student’s gmail accounts regarding when to meet virtually.  Please have your child check their email.   

For younger children, or those who have forgotten,  your child’s email and password was shared by their school site and is available on Parent Portal. It can be seen under the Student Info, Demographics, Student Data 2 tab. If you do not have a Parent Portal account, sign up here.  

If my child chose the Independent Study Model what do I do?  

Your child’s home school has reached out to you to verify your choice, by phone and in some cases also by email.  If you have not responded, or been contacted, please contact your school principal using the email address under the pictures on each school website.  Please provide a convenient time to be contacted regarding the Independent Study model. 

On the first day of school, student’s should sign into their Google Classroom as described above.
