Reminder About Blended Learning and Virtual Class
Please keep in mind that Blended Learning and Virtual Class attendance is required at the middle school level. Students must attend our face to face meetings on Wednesdays from 9 am - 12:30 pm and attend their scheduled virtual class times on Mondays and Thursdays. This is an essential part of our programming with students and we will be following up with families whose students are not attending.
Khanmigo Pilot School Information
Click HERE to read a letter from DCSD regarding the Khanmigo AI pilot that eDCSD Online will participate in this school year.
Attendance Update
Due to a change in the district's attendance messaging system, the automated attendance calls have not been sending. Please make sure you are logging into Infinite Campus to check student attendance. As a reminder, at eDCSD, we only take attendance once a week for the whole week, Wednesday - Tuesday. If a student shows an absence in a class, this means the student did not complete any work the whole previous week, equaling 5 days of class.
Counselor Information
If you need support from your school counselor, please reach out to Jenny Alsup for Grades K-8 at jdalsup@dcsdk12.org
Technology Support
If you are experiencing technology issues and need support beyond what your student's classroom teacher can provide, please contact Mrs. Blomquist at kblomquist@dcsdk12.org
Learning Coach Appointments
School Meals
On Blended Learning days, students may get a free school lunch from Nutrition Services. If students would prefer, they may bring their own lunch or snack.
