Parents: The VPSB website ( VPSB.NET ) has a link called Covid-19 Information. On that page, there is a blue link called COVID-19 Educational Resources Document. If you scroll through the document, there are different links for each subject. None of this is mandatory - we simply want to offer extra resources to parents who want them.
During this unexpected break from school, here are a few resources to help students keep learning. They are FREE! Not mandatory, just possible activities to help kids not fall behind...
Parents: I've chosen sites that are safe, to the best of my knowledge. But still -- please preview all sites before your child uses it. Websites change all the time, and what was safe when I searched it may not be safe later.
KHANACADEMY.ORG: They have ELA and Math lessons for elementary school levels.
MRNUSSBAUM.COM This is a website with all subjects. I've used it in my classes before and found it quite good.
