Safely Connecting with Students

Communicate and Connect Effectively

It is important to use school appropriate communication channels to keep kids safe and abide by policy and regulations. This page offers some resources that may help you overcome distant learning communication challenges. Should you need a phone number not attached to your personal number, we encourage you to review Google Voice on your personal account. We do not have access to that feature as a school district currently. All other products should be used with your school issued Google or Microsoft Account.


Please note: More information about Zoom will be added soon. Should you or students have issues with email address please contact your school coach or Jessica Stanley, Technology Department Secretary, for assistance.
