ACCESSING AUSD TECHNOLOGY @HOME
Grades 6-12 are being issued individual Chromebooks to use at home and at school. Elementary students will have 1:1 access to Chromebooks via Chromecarts in each classroom. Elementary students on quarantine may be issued a Chromebook by the site if appropriate for the grade level.

QUARANTINE LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES
Secondary Student Protocols
Secondary students who have a confirmed positive Covid test will continue to have access to District technology, Google Classroom, and Aeries for asynchronous instruction while they quarantine for the required 10 days.
Elementary Student Protocols
- Modified Quarantine will occur when there are fewer than 3 confirmed positive cases in a class within a span of 14 days. Sites and teachers will have options for providing learning access to both online and offline resources over the ten-day quarantine:
- Students in grades 3-5 will be able to access content and assignments through online resources, such as Google Classroom and Clever, using a District Chromebook. Each elementary site will determine the availability of Chromebooks and whether online access is appropriate.
- TK-2 students will be sent home with a bag of supplies for offline assignments, or a neighbor/relative who is not infected or in isolation/quarantine may pick up the bag at school for a student.
- Students in grades TK-2, may also access a portal called Q-School to use for easier access to content and assignments specifically designed for the 10-day quarantine.
CLICK ON THE BUS TO ACCESS Q-SCHOOL FOR TK-2 STUDENTS.
- Full Quarantine will occur when there are 3 or more confirmed positive cases in a class within a span of 14 days. At this point, the following actions will occur:
- Discontinue "modified quarantine."
- Move that class to short-term online learning for quarantine (typically 10 calendar days).
- Schedule will look similar to last fall for the TEMPORARY quarantine period. See schedules.
- AUSD will notify impacted families if a second case is identified to prepare for a possible pause to in-person learning if a 3rd case is identified within 14 days.
