FOR PARENTS AND STUDENTS
Mass Department of Elementary and Secondary Education:
To further expand learning opportunities for students, they have partnered with public broadcaster WGBH and its partner station WGBY to provide resources for use by students who are learning at home. The resources include the stations’ newly launched online distance learning center (https://www.wgbh.org/distance-learning-center) with lessons for every grade level and free access for educators to PBS LearningMedia (https://mass.pbslearningmedia.org/). Middle and high school students also have access to more educational programming on the WGBH and WGBY WORLD Channel from noon to 5 p.m., and younger students can tune into other public broadcasting channels such as WGBH Kids for educational programming. Other supplemental educational resources have been posted on our website (http://www.doe.mass.edu/covid19/ed- )
If you believe that you or your children have experienced bullying or harassment related to the COVID-19 outbreak, or if this happens in the future, please contact your school’s civil rights officer, principal or your superintendent’s office. You may also contact our Problem Resolution System Office at 781-338-3700 or [email protected].
