- Enter through Driveway D and loop around so the staff is on the driver side of your car. Children do not need to be present when picking up meals.
- To make the process a little quicker, please have a sign in the driver’s window with your child’s name, grade, and teacher.

REMINDERS DURING DISTANCE LEARNING INSTRUCTION:
Attendance and Presence in Class:
- Be punctual and in the waiting room
- Be sure your child’s chair is comfortable, but size-appropriate. Use pillows to keep the child towards the front of the seat. Students must sit as if they were in class: no blankets, no cell phones, and no eating during instruction.
- Position your child’s chair with an appropriate background. Be mindful of family or pets behind the child that may be a distraction to other students.
- Remember … there is a group of 20-35 students in your home during online instruction. Please keep background noise and personal conversations to a minimum. Chromebook and tablet mics pick up even the softest of whispers.
·
Monitoring the Child:
- Remind your child that the camera lens should be open AT ALL TIMES DURING INSTRUCTION unless otherwise directed by the teacher.
- Assist your child with technology, but not with class work.
- Make sure your child gets plenty of sleep each night and a good breakfast each morning to help your child stay alert.
Tips for Zoom/Google Meet/Google Classroom:
- Students should be using their school accounts (through Clever or Google Classroom) to log into Zoom and Google Meet.
- If students are using a personal device where multiple accounts are logged in, they may receive an error message, or be unable to join or open files in Google Classroom. Please be sure all personal accounts are signed out and that their school account is the active account on the device if you are experiencing these issues.
- If issues persist with logins, please contact the Tech Support Hotline at (760) 335-5200.
