Distance Learning Resources

Welcome to Distance Learning

Our district has started the 2020-2021 school year with a Distance Learning model. Though not ideal, it opens up many new possibilities we haven't had in the past. Among these is technology integration. Students will become more familiar with the wide range of online resources available to them through our curriculum and third party tools. This website will be used to help guide parents and students through this new adventrure.

This one system replaced both EGUSD’s previous Student Information System (SISWeb) and School Loop. Synergy provides access to both parents and students. With Synergy, Parents/Guardians use a single sign-on to access all of their children’s information, regardless of school. Parents access the portal using ParentVUE and students will access using StudentVUE.
