Responding to COVID-19: Resources for Our Community 
During the pandemic, Washington school districts faced the challenge of shifting their educational model to an entirely online and remote experience, as in-person schools were forced to close due to COVID-19. Many teachers, families, school leaders, advocates, and community members worked urgently and tirelessly to ensure that students were able to access their education and basic needs during a time of unprecedented change.
School closures have widened gaps in resources and access among kids and families, especially those without access to technology, students with disabilities, students who are learning English, students living in poverty, students of color, and students in early learning programs. As schools developed reopening plans and continue to implement recovery plans, we must work collaboratively to continue supporting children and to ensure this opportunity for adaptation results in system-level change. This page is a working resource for parents, families, teachers, students, and other community members as we respond to the impacts of COVID-19 on education, equity, and wellness of children and families.
