Additionally, students in grades K-8 can sign up for pre-recorded lessons in Google Classrooms, which will feature two learning activities daily Monday through Thursday. The District also will offer targeted small-group interventions and instruction. Families will be contacted by a District representative if a student qualifies for these targeted interventions.
