For students with a Section 504 plan, school counselors will collaborate with general educators and ensure that these students have access to supports and any needed accommodations where reasonably feasible. If you have any questions, please contact your school counselor during their virtual office hours. IEP, Special Education Committee, 504, SRT meetings will still be held during this time. Your child’s case manager and the school counselor will be in contact with families to discuss virtual options and coordinate a date and time. Internet access We are committed to helping families without internet find options for connectivity. If you do not have internet access at home, please either complete this form or call (757) 263-1111 between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. Monday through Friday. You can also contact your child’s principal so arrangements can be made for access to alternative learning materials. Continuity of Learning We aim to keep our students engaged and learning over the next two weeks. During this school closure, we ask that parents and guardians encourage students to utilize the materials and resources their teachers have provided. Parents of pre-K students have received information from their child’s teacher. Students in grades K-12, at a minimum, will receive one learning activity per content area each week during the extended closure. This information has either been sent home or will be available online. You will be contacted by your child’s teacher with their virtual “office hours” in order to set up regular online or email conversations as needed during the closure. The purpose of these office hours is to answer questions students or parents may have about instructional tasks or resources. School counselors are also available to support our students with non-instructional needs based on a schedule that will be provided by the school. You may contact any counselor through email or Schoology message if you have any concern or issue that needs attention. For more information about this, please see our continuity of learning webpage.
