Elementary students will refer to their pre-printed packets or visit www.dcps.org/athome for your DAY #2 assignments. Middle and high school students will follow the Google Meet schedule provided by their teachers. Information details for DAY #2 are posted at www.dcps.org/athome.
If you have experienced a power loss, we understand the issues this could cause and continue to allow students five days to complete assignments for participation. If you need to communicate with your student’s teacher for any reason, please contact them via email or Talking Points. Elementary students can complete all assignments from the folder previously sent home.

Because of our holiday break, elementary students do not have Chromebooks and chargers. Teachers will also be available at 9 AM for a Google Meet.
