COVID-19 Information
California education and health officials released guidance for K-12 schools to help education leaders meet the needs of all students affected by school closures, with an emphasis on assisting low-income children and those with disabilities.
This guidance follows Governor Gavin Newsom’s March 13 Executive Order, which ensured that schools continue to receive funding and outlined key efforts that schools should pursue, including educational opportunities via distance learning and independent study, provision of school meals in non-congregate settings, continued services for students with disabilities, and opportunities to support parents in securing care and supervision for their children.
Fresno Unified has created a page with all of the information and resources you will need during this time of “Distance Learning”. Please follow the link be low to access all resources and information.
