How can OUSD, schools, and teachers help students stay on track with their learning and what teachers are assigning, while having to navigate this crisis at home? How can schools provide a flexible schedule to support students during this time given the varied situations students face? What can I do if I need the internet at home? What can I do if I don’t have a computer at home? Will my attendance be affected because of school closures?

Impact on Graduation Will graduation be delayed? Will there be end of the year celebrations and events like promotion and graduations ceremonies? Will students have to attend school in the summer? Is it true that the school year will be extended?
Will end of year events still occur and will we have summer learning? ❖ We hope to have end of the year events celebrations. ❖ We are waiting on further information from the State and County about any extensions of “shelter in place” and for a projected date for returning to school. ❖ At the moment, there has been no decision to extend the school year.
