District Daily News
While we prioritize continued academic learning, we also recognize students need emotional support in the coming days and weeks. If your child is, or knows a friend who needs help you can report it anonymously on the District Crisis Link - Please use this as a way to report the following: bullying, personal safety, (If you think this person is in immediate danger please call 9-1-1 immediately), threats against others, or harassment or inappropriate behavior from a staff member/teacher
Additionally, if you or someone you know is in crisis and needs assistance due to emotional distress, suicidal ideation, or is in need of a safe place to talk, please call one of these 24/7 confidential crisis hotlines or visit their websites for more detailed information.

At-Home Learning

- Set Up Your Canvas Parent Observer Account
- Google Hangouts
Join in when you can. Even if it is just for a few minutes. The hangouts are not only an opportunity to connect with your teachers and peers, it is also an excellent time to ask questions. When you need help or clarification about an assignment, join the hangout. That question will often help your peers as well.
- Digital Educational Resources
Our campus digital library is open! Visit this LINK for the digital library. If you have questions, contact the school librarian julie_post@misd.gs.
