When a student is absent due to quarantine or isolation, your child’s teacher will provide work based on the current instruction in the classroom. Teachers may provide work through paper packets, books, assignments in Schoology, online resources or other resources to help your child stay on track while absent from school. The GCPS make-up work policy will be followed should a student be unable to complete work while in isolation or quarantine.

 

Students in quarantine or isolation will be given a device to take home. Hotspots are also available for students in quarantine or isolation who have limited or no internet access. If your child is in quarantine or isolation and you need a hotspot, please contact Mrs. Ross at 301-334-3334.

 

Yough Glades Elementary School has identified a liaison for each student who is required to quarantine or isolate. Your child’s school liaison is your child’s classroom teacher. The classroom teacher will ensure that your child has the technology and curricular resources necessary to access instruction.
