Distance Learning Checklist
DISTANCE LEARNING “TO DO” LIST:
Families
Stay healthy: Continue to follow all public health guidelines to protect yourselves and others from the COVID-19 pandemic.
Ensure you know your students’ district username and password for instructional resources that are accessible via the district portal.
Monitor district communication for up-to-date information.
Communicate with school staff regarding technology needs.
Stay involved in your child’s learning. Check out these online tips for parents.
Give yourself permission to have students work independently when you need time for your own priorities.
Try to make time to play together, read stories together and document your family’s experience of this time together in a journal.
Be gentle with yourself and your family, this can be an unsettling time for everyone. San Diego Unified has mental health and wellness information online.
Don’t get frustrated by technical difficulties. They are inevitable as our entire city adapts to sheltering in place. If family members get stressed out, talk together about strategies to stay calm.
Stay connected: find safe ways for you and your student to connect with classmates, friends and others online.
Students
Set up a remote work space and create a plan to manage your time.
Be sure to have all district usernames and passwords for instructional resources that are accessible on the district portal and/or website.
All SDUSD students have Google for Education accounts. Students can sign into their district Google account by using their Active Directory ID and password.
Google Account: student ID # @stu.sandi.net (For example: 123456@stu.sandi.net)
Please contact your child's school for Active Directory ID and password information.
Set a schedule, but keep it flexible. Students should complete their work, but take advantage of the new flexibility.
Take part in distance learning activities offered by educators, schools and/or the District.
Students need to keep learning. Productive work is not only important for their academic future, it helps maintain mental health.
Persevere through challenges and reach out for help when needed.
Stay connected to the arts! San Diego Unified believes a foundation in the arts is essential for every student. An online curriculum created by our Visual and Performing Arts professionals is available for all.
Build in breaks for students to relax and refocus.
Stay active! Our Physical education teachers have set up a site for continued learning. The Athletics Department has also shared information.
