Remote learning, volunteering and opportunities for ECE families

Remote learning in preschool 

Remote preschool is allowed by our funders for students who need to quarantine for illness or symptoms related to COVID.  Your teacher will provide activities for you to work on with your child while they are out. If you complete activities and stay in communication with your child’s teacher, your child will be considered present and not marked absent for this time (present/offsite). 

When is remote learning an option? 

• My family has to quarantine because a family member or child is COVID positive. We have a return date, but will be out of the classroom for 5 days.
  • Yes, remote learning is an option. Use your teacher’s learning page to find activities. Make sure you communicate with your teacher as things are completed so your child is considered “present/offsite.”

• My classroom has been shifted to remote by the health department because of a COVID exposure. Will remote learning be in place? 
  •  Yes! Your teacher will let you know when class will meet and provide options for activities to continue your child's learning. 

• We will be on vacation. Is remote learning an option? 
  • No. Remote learning is for COVID/symptom-related absences. It is not approved by our funders for unexcused absences such as vacation. 

• My child is sick. Is remote learning an option?
  •  Maybe. If your child isn’t feeling well, it may be better to stay home and rest. If they are feeling up to working remotely, it is an option. However, we never expect a child to work if they are ill and experiencing symptoms that make it hard for them to work. 

Additional remote learning questions

• I was exposed to someone with a positive case, and my family mentor is scheduled to come over. What should we do? 
  •  Family mentors are authorized to do virtual visits in the event of an exposure. Better safe than sorry! Please ask for a virtual visit. 

• My child is sick with COVID. When can we return to school?
  • Please follow these How Sick is Too Sick protocols.
