Instructional Supports
Whether learning from home or in school, Google Classroom will continue to be the primary platform for ensuring all students follow the KTCEA Common, Consistent Curriculum. Parents with students who are learning at-home and require a device (e.g. Chromebook) and/or need internet connectivity are advised to contact their school principal.
Supporting Students
Students with special needs will continue to receive support. To ensure the safety of our students, staff, and community members, student services will be delivered virtually. This includes occupational therapy, physical therapy, mental health and speech and language services.
KTCEA Central Office
To ensure the safety of our students, staff and communities, KTCEA offices will be closed until further notice. This will ensure person-to-person contact is reduced. Only essential staff on an “as needed” basis will be permitted to enter the building. Central office staff will continue to work remotely. All staff are encouraged to have regular contact with their supervisors.
Staff
Staff will continue to be paid their regular salaries. All staff are encouraged to contact their supervisors regarding working from home or organizing alternative work arrangements.
