As school resumes virtually and students begin to navigate distance learning, trained Parks and Community Services staff will oversee students, providing assistance and support to help them log on and complete online learning modules provided by DUSD instructors. Students will be assigned to stable cohort groups of no more than 12, adhering to all State and County safety guidelines and protocol. This includes daily temperature checks, proper social distancing, frequent handwashing, and regular sanitizing of supplies and equipment.
Once distance learning is complete, play begins. Students will engage in cooperative games, activities, sports, fitness activities, creative play, and arts and crafts.
