As the details surrounding COVID-19 rapidly evolve, RISE will do its very best to connect your school community to resources and information.

We recognize that this is a stressful, unprecedented, and unsettling time. We believe that community resources, normalcy, and routines will help us to get through this tough and confusing time together. To that end, we have compiled a list of family resources to meet basic needs, as well as links to support student learning and postsecondary planning during this disruption to traditional in-school learning. We have also aggregated resources in this document, which contains tools to support teachers and counselors.

A medida que los detalles rodeando la pandemia de COVID-19 evolucionan rápidamente, queremos hacer todo lo posible para conectarlos con los recursos y la información que pudiera ayudarlo a usted, a su familia y a su comunidad escolar. Reconocemos que este es un momento estresante, inquietante, y sin precedentes. Nosotros creemos que los recursos para la comunidad, la normalidad y las rutinas nos ayudarán a superar este momento difícil y confuso juntos. Este documento contiene recursos familiares para satisfacer las necesidades básicas, así como enlaces para apoyar el aprendizaje de los estudiantes y la planificación postsecundaria durante esta interrupción del aprendizaje tradicional en la escuela.
