Coordinated School Support Resources For Families During DL 2.0

Resources for SPPS Families during Distance Learning 2.
0 (COVID-19)
Saint Paul Public Schools strives to provide support for families during distance learning. Families can find a list of
common topics and needs listed below and resources that are available. We recognize that school closure, distance
learning, and COVID-19 may cause extra stress to many in our school community, including families, students and staff.
Even though we are apart from each other physically, we want to stay in communication and connected to best serve the
SPPS community. If your family needs support, reach out to your school’s counselor or social worker.
Attendance: Students should participate in distance learning every school day, unless they are sick or have another
lawfully excused reason for absence. Students or parents will indicate once daily in Campus that the student will be
participating in all their classes. This once daily check-in process is independent from an individual class. Rather,
the one check in shows participation for all classes at the same time. The parent/guardian check in option will allow
parents of young children and children with disabilities to assist their children with the process. Learn more HERE.
