Beginning April 6, 2020, students will begin a new digital platform for learning called "Classroom to Cloud". Your teachers have prepared this educational online format and are confident you will be successful and will easily navigate the new site.

Below is the link to your classroom for the next seven weeks:

https://sites.google.com/trussvillecityschools.org/tcsclassroomtocloud/home

In this link, you will find videos from your superintendent and each principal welcoming you to "Classroom to Cloud" plus information on expectations and ideas for parents that you may review over the weekend.

The actual work sites will not be live until 9:30 am Monday, April 6, 2020. Please bookmark this site so you can easily access "Classroom to Cloud'.

Why are we starting class at 9:30 Monday morning?

Because we are kicking off our first day of online instruction with neighborhood parades from 8:30 - 9:30 am! See the information below and we hope to see students waving from your front porch, yard or family car!

Help Desk Options:

At the bottom of each school page, you will find a "Chat" button. We will have online help from 8:00 am - 3:00 pm Monday - Friday. Your question will be routed to the correct department. You may also leave an email message after hours.

In addition, the main phone line of each school will serve as a Help Desk. Press 1 and leave a message. We will return your call.

Parents and students will have online chat and/or telephone support during this seven week online course. We are still strong partners in education.

We miss you immensely and look forward to seeing you in the Fall.

Dr. Neill, Superintendent

As online learning starts April 6, 2020 in the new “Classroom to Cloud” digital platform, Trussville City Schools will host a Caravan on six bus routes in the City of Trussville between 8:30 am and 9:30 am Monday morning.

Trussville City students in K-12 who live on the routes will see the School Resource Officer (SRO) leading the Caravan followed by a school bus and elementary, middle school and high school faculty and staff, principals, the superintendent and Huey Husky in their own cars. Special signs are being made to welcome the students to online learning.

At 8:30 am, the Caravan will leave the parking lot of each elementary school and stay on a designated route led by the SRO. The Caravans will return to the schools around 9:30 am.

Students are asked to stay in their own yard or on their own porch and practice social distancing during the Caravan. We want them to know ahead of time NO CANDY can be thrown during this Caravan.

Any K-12 student who does not live on a route and would like to see the Caravan, please go to either Cahaba, Magnolia or Paine Elementary School at 8:30 am for the start of the Caravan or 9:30 for the end of the Caravan. Please practice social distancing and remain in your cars if you view the Caravan from a school.

We hope you will wave at your teachers and celebrate the start of "Classroom to Cloud" learning with us!
