DUSD Community, 
We acknowledge that many of you have questions about how we are going to proceed with student learning. We continue to ask for your patience and flexibility as we develop our short-term and long-term plans for our District. It’s important to understand that our situation is changing daily, and in some cases hourly. We are doing our best to create flexible independent learning options which not only deliver the best possible experiences for all of our students under the circumstances, but will be sustainable for the duration of this crisis. 
Below are adjustments to our short-term plan and the beginning of a long-term plan moving forward: 
Short-Term - March 23 - April 3, 2020 
  1. Teachers are providing learning opportunities for your students to complete that consist of current curriculum, review of current material, and enrichment opportunities. This is essentially a maintenance of learning. New curriculum will not universally be introduced until after Spring Break.
    1. Student Expectations - Students are highly encouraged to complete these assignments to the best of their ability to support their continued learning progress. How these assignments are factored into a students grade, given different levels of access, ability, and responsibility, are still being determined. Understand that our students will not be penalized adversely during this COVID-19 shelter in place directive.
  2. We’ve adjusted our approach and teachers will now be available via email starting on Monday, March 23. You can contact them as needed during their normal school hours to answer questions about posted educational opportunities and lessons. 
    1. Initially, we chose to limit access to our teachers. We did this to give them time to take care of their families and adjust to this unfamiliar environment in which we are all now living. Our staff, just like our students and families, are important to us and with everything changing so quickly, we felt it was crucial to give them a moment to breathe. 
  3. Families can view ongoing communication on the District website every weekday at 5:00PM starting Monday, March 23. These communiques may be very brief if there is nothing significant to add, but we are committed to keeping you informed.
Spring Break - April 6 - April 10, 2020 
During this week, students and staff will be on break. No work and no emails! We ask that everyone take this week off to recharge.
Long-Term - April 13, 2020 - Beyond
This COVID-19 shelter in place is an evolving situation and will likely extend beyond spring break, resulting in the need for a long-term distance learning plan. We are constantly reviewing state, local, and federal guidelines as we develop our plan for delivering curriculum, and the extent to which it will be graded. Our teachers will be sending out work for DUSD students to complete, while complying with relevant distance learning guidelines. Details will be shared once they are finalized. 
Access to Technology
To better ensure equity of access, we have created a program allowing students to check out Chromebooks and internet hotspots if needed. If your student has a computer available, we ask that you not reserve a Chromebook in order to ensure availability for students who require this support. Families who qualify for the National School Lunch Program ("Free and Reduced") are eligible to check out a mobile Internet hotspot if they do not have Internet available at home. Chromebooks are limited to one per student per year. Hotspots are limited to one per family per year. You can find more information in the March 18 update on our COVID-19 page http://bit.ly/DUSD-COVID-19.
Please understand, we have a limited number of Chromebooks.
Meal Service Change
Students have access to a "Grab and Go" bagged combination breakfast/lunch for the duration of the suspension period, with the exception of Spring Break. These meals are currently available at two DUSD locations from 10:00AM-12:00PM. While meals will be available, seating will not be offered at either site. You can access the meal order menu form here to select food choices. Students must be present to receive meals.
March 16 - March 20, 2020
  • Meals are served at two sites:
    • Cottonwood Creek School 
    • Dublin High School
March 23 - March 27, 2020
  • Meals will be served at two sites: 
    • Fallon Middle School (please note this change from Cottonwood Creek School) 
    • Dublin High School
For today, March 19, 2020, we want you to know the following about our long-term plans:
District leadership, to the very best extent possible, will ensure the needs of all DUSD students will be met in a distance learning scenario: student learning, equity of access, safety and security, technology, nutrition, social emotional support, and providing additional support for students with special needs.
The most important thing we must do right now is to come together as a community. We need to  accept responsibility for the role that each one of us plays in ensuring that we are doing what we can to slow the spread of COVID-19. This includes what the District must do in order to comply with the shelter-in-place mandate. 
We realize that the uncertainty surrounding what comes next causes concern and worry. It is important to remember that we are not in this alone. Many states have closed their schools completely. This broad response to a crisis is unprecedented. While I would love to say there are no more challenges ahead, it’s very likely there will be more surprises. Being adaptable and understanding is critical in this time. 
Please take this time in the next hours and days to relax, and reflect on what is truly important including being patient, connecting with family, and staying healthy. 
Sincerely, 
Dave Marken, Ed.D.
