Canvas is accessible through your phone, tablet, iPad or laptop computer. This video will show you how to access Canvas through an app on your phone.

A Message to Parents About Distance Learning

March 27, 2020 at 9:34 am

We understand your concerns about computer access, however, we want you to know that your child does not need computer access all day long. Teachers are very mindful that students will not be logging on for “live face-to-face” type lessons all day or on a tight schedule. Students will check their assignments and do offline work as well. Tutorials and guides will be shared with students and parents to effectively learn the Canvas and/or TEAMS App[s] which allows them to participate on a phone, iPad, or Tablet if a computer is not available. Students can do their work at any time of day that is convenient for you. As we transition into distance learning, teachers and students will be working together to determine what works best for their classes and their families. We understand that distance learning will look a little different in each home. During this time, communication with your child’s teachers is imperative as we are all navigating these uncharted waters together. We thank you for your patience as you take on the new role of distance learning support for your child.

We want to thank you…

March 24, 2020 at 1:07 pm

We want to thank you in advance for your support, patience and understanding as we work to meet the needs of all our families. We are committed to making sure you have what you need for Distance Learning.

A school messenger phone call was sent home yesterday evening, March 23^rd to all families who will be checked out a device tomorrow afternoon.

Please DO NOT show up to pick up a laptop if you did not receive a district phone call yesterday. Once again, we are asking for your cooperation and ONLY come to pick up a laptop if you received a phone call yesterday.

This is only Phase I of our laptop deployment. Phase II will take place later in the week with more phone calls will be going out on Wednesday evening for a pick-up time later in the week. This process will continue until we make sure that every household has at least one digital device for learning in their home.

Florida Department of Education Announces Additional Guidance for the 2019-20 School Year

~ All public and private K-12 schools are closed through April 15, 2020 ~

TALLAHASSEE, Fla., March 17, 2020 – Today, the Department of Education and Commissioner Richard Corcoran are using executive authority to support the Florida Division of Emergency Management to ensure Florida citizens are kept safe.

“The containment of COVID-19 is essential, and this is not a decision we made lightly. Districts have taken action and have instituted distance learning as a necessary precaution to protect students, educators, families, and Florida’s overall public health,” said Commissioner of Education Richard Corcoran. “We are working with our local school districts to provide guidance and help children who need access food during this time. Our number one priority is keeping our families safe and healthy and stopping the spread of this virus. These actions will help mitigate the spread of COVID-19 in Florida. I will continue to work with the Governor, Superintendents, Florida College System and the State University System to do whatever we can to protect our children, our families, and our communities.”

Commissioner Corcoran is taking the following actions, effective immediately:

School Districts

All public and private K-12 and career and technical center campuses are closed through April 15, 2020.

Schools are encouraged to operate virtually or through other non-classroom-based means to the greatest extent possible to implement distance learning.
School districts should be prepared to extend their educational calendars through June 30, 2020, to the extent feasible and necessary.
For Collier, Duval, Sumter and Union county school districts, which are all completing their extended spring break on March 20, 2020, school campuses will remain closed through April 15, 2020, although they will begin instruction virtually on March 23.
To support students with identified IEP-related services who may have a disruption in services, school districts are given flexibility for the remainder of the school year to provide alternative services or delay services until later in the summer months, in coordination with a student’s parents and IEP team.

Frequently Asked Questions

When will school start again?

After careful consideration and continued conversation with public health experts and officials at the Florida Department of Education, the decision was been made to close all St. Lucie Public Schools through Tuesday, April 14, 2020. As of now, students are due back to school on April 15^th.

What is the district doing to clean the schools?

Every school is undergoing a deep cleaning. This consists of using hospital grade disinfectants that are approved to kill COVID19/coronavirus and other disease-causing germs.

Where can my child get food during the school closures?

Currently, the “grab and go meals” are available from 11am-1pm, Monday through Friday, at CA Moore Elementary, Northport K8 and Treasure Coast High School. These bagged meals contain breakfast and lunch items and are being distributed at the bus loops of those schools. Children must be present to receive a meal.

What will happen with my child’s education if schools don’t re-open soon?

In the event that schools are closed beyond March 27^th, the Office of Teaching and Learning has developed an Instructional Continuity/On-Line Learning Plan. This plan will allow for your child to continue instruction from home beginning March 30^th if needed. In the interim, we have identified resources on our coronavirus webpage students can access now if they would like.

What if I don’t have WIFI or a computer?

Comcast is opening its Xfinity Network nationally for FREE for two months. For students who don’t have Wi-Fi at home, this will help them receive online instruction if necessary. Find out more at: internetessentials.com

We will be communicating directly with families about how we will get the digital devices checked out to you.

What should my family be doing to stay safe?

We encourage all families to follow the guidance of experts and continue to implement the universal health precautions such as washing your hands and covering your cough. Furthermore, the latest recommendations from the CDC recommend that you should not attend any events where there are more 10 people and simply stay home if possible.

Please make your messaging to your children positive and solutions-focused. Make children feel empowered by sharing proactive steps that you are taking as a family.

Remind your children that you are being diligent about washing hands, avoiding crowds, and taking care of your health. Try to maintain structure, including reading with your children every day. It’s important that children know there is some movement toward a solution within your family and in the community.
