Digital Learning Opportunities (April 2-10)
Hi Wildcat Families,
As we get started with digital learning opportunities, please consider the following through til April 10th, 2020.
The Digital Learning routine will be:
April 2 and April 3: teachers and staff engaging with students, making connections, transitioning to digital learning
April 6: teacher and staff preparation day
April 7-April 10: teachers engage students in digital learning opportunities for work independently and collaboratively
During the transition to digital learning, our intent is to maintain connections with students and families through Seesaw, Google Hangout Meet, and/or email
Until further notice, we anticipate carrying out the routine of Mondays for preparation and Tuesdays through Fridays for teacher-student engagement and interaction
The daily schedule will be flexible enough to accommodate various and different teachers, students and families’ demands of working from home
Please submit a help request ticket here or go onto losdschools.org if you run into any technology issues (from passwords to hardware concerns). Your help request ticket will get routed to the best person to assist you with your needs.

No Access to Westridge (reminder)
Dear LOSD Community,
At this time, we cannot allow parents or students to enter school buildings. In a few weeks, we will reevaluate and may consider scheduling time for parents and guardians to request access to lockers and desks.
Starting this week principals, teachers and staff will be introducing digital learning
opportunities, preparing “grab and go” meals, and providing emergency childcare
for children of first responders, health care professionals, and other front-line staff who are a vital support to enable communities to respond to challenges presented by COVID-19. Most district work and functions can be done remotely, but a few essential tasks require an onsite presence.
For the safety of our staff and the community, we are carefully adhering to the Governor’s executive order to stay home and to practice social distancing. Further, we must clean and disinfect the facilities after any spaces are used. For this reason, we are restricting the number of people entering schools to essential staff only.
Thank you for your patience and understanding as we navigate our new normal for the safety and well-being of our LOSD community.
