• CHROME BOOK - SHUT DOWN

  • Please log out and SHUT DOWN your Chromebook and not just close it at least once a week.

  • Let it remain shut down for at least 1 hour or even better while you sleep tonight.

  • The shut down allows the computer to update itself so it runs more efficiently.

• DCS VIRTUAL CALMING ROOM

• • Need a brain break? Need a place to virtually chillax and zone out for a few minutes?

  • Take a moment to check out our DCS Virtual Calming Room. You will find live animal cameras, online coloring books, and visual relaxation videos, to name a few.

• Cameras and Google Meet - Please encourage your student to turn on the camera on Google Meet during classes. It is difficult to know if a student is on task or is understanding the material when the camera is turned off. Google Meet is releasing a new feature to blur the background that is being pushed out through the next few days.

• If your family is experiencing hardship, please see THIS FLYER with information about support available within the Dublin community.
