Student services: Students who attend hybrid school will continue to receive
English as a New Language (ENL) services either from a co-teacher in your child’s
class or through other arrangements with your child’s teacher. You will be contacted
by your child’s teacher.
Speech, occupational therapy (OT), physical therapy (PT) and psychological
counseling will continue to be delivered virtually either through Google Meet or a
secure therapy platform. Your child’s therapist will contact you via email, phone or
your child’s Google account to confirm a schedule. If you are unable to connect with
your child’s therapist, please contact your school psychologist/committee on special
education chairperson. Phone numbers and email addresses can be accessed on the
district website or you can use Let’s Talk. Select the area of “special education.”
Student medication: Parents, guardians and caregivers should ensure that they
maintain an adequate supply of your child’s medication at home. This may mean
supplying the school nurse more frequently, with fewer doses at a time. If, at the
time, it appears that school will be closed for an extended period of time and
circumstances permit, the nurse will make arrangements to return medications to
you.
Technology and Internet access: If you have already made a request for a
device, you will be contacted to make arrangements to receive the device. If you
have not requested a device, but need one, please call your school and we will make
arrangements to get you a device quickly.
If you do not have existing Internet access, please call your school immediately. We
are providing hotspots (wifi) to families who need Internet access.
Technology issues: Please submit any questions or concerns through Let’s
Talk. You can access Let’s Talk from the homepage of our district website at
www.schenectady.k12.ny.us or by going to http://bit.ly/SCSDLetsTalk.
Seesaw and Google Classroom: If you have a question or are having difficulty
with Seesaw and Google Classroom, that your child’s teacher cannot resolve, please
submit it through Let’s Talk and select your child’s school as the area from the
options.
If you have a question or are having difficulty with your device (not connecting, not
powering on, not working etc), please submit it through Let’s Talk and select
“technology” as the area from the options, or you can call 518-881-3967. If a
technician is not available, please leave a voicemail.
Meals: If school is closed, you can pick up meals on Monday, Wednesday and
Friday from any district school or at any of the Meal Delivery Bus Stops at the times
designated (see attached). You are not required to present tickets for meals.
When you pick up meal, you will be provided with meals for two days at a time. If
you have more than one student, pick up all of your meals from one location. The
Meal Delivery Bus Stop schedule is attached.
