Kindergarten students will meet for one, 30-minute live synchronous session for language arts or math:

• 10:00 AM - 10:30 AM: AM kindergarten language arts or math

Asynchronous work may be completed as needed during the remainder of the school day.

Frequently Asked Questions

What if my child needs assistance or has a question about an assignment during an emergency virtual day?

All teachers will be available during the school day to support students and families through email and Schoology.


What if my family has an individual circumstance that prevents my child from being able to complete schoolwork during an emergency virtual day?

If any student cannot complete the day’s assignments due to an individual family circumstance, please email your school’s attendance inbox to report your child as absent.


What if there are widespread power outages during an emergency virtual day and my child cannot log into Schoology or Microsoft Teams?

In the event of widespread power outages throughout the District, TESD may determine that an emergency virtual day needs to become a traditional emergency closing day.


Do emergency virtual days need to be made up at the end of the school year like traditional emergency closing days?

No. Emergency virtual days are considered instructional days. Instructional days do not need to be made up at the end of the year.
