April 8, 2020 update from the EGUSD

The EGUSD sent out this email today

April 8, 2020

Dear Elk Grove Unified Parents and Families,

We are on spring break and only 8 days remain before we start distance learning for secondary students and 12 days for elementary students. This week, schools prepared distance learning packets for our youngest students in preschool, transitional kindergarten and kindergarten and will begin communicating the distribution process to their parents. Next week, schools will begin their delivery of the packets using a drive-thru method to adhere to the county social distancing orders and guidance. Parents and/or guardians should look for the communication of this distribution process in their voicemails or emails. Moving forward, we are continuing with Chromebook check-outs, student enrollment and student transcript requests.

CHROMEBOOK CHECK-OUT CONTINUES

If your student really needs a Chromebook, go to your home EGUSD high school: Cosumnes Oaks High School, Elk Grove High School, Florin High School, Franklin High School, Laguna Creek High School, Monterey Trail High School, Pleasant Grove High School, Sheldon High School and Valley High School
For health and safety, the Chromebook check-out will be a drive-thru process to adhere to social distancing guidance.
Student(s) must be present in the car to receive the device – 1 per student maximum
Please write on a paper, have or know the Student ID number for each student

April 8th: Grades 3 & 4 Last names A-L 9:00 am-1:00 pm | M-Z 1:30 pm-6:00 pm

April 9th: Grades 1 & 2 Last names A-L 9:00 am-1:00 pm | M-Z 1:30 pm-6:00 pm

OFFICIAL TRANSCRIPT REQUESTS

Elk Grove Unified School District is making the following changes to student transcript request processes while guidance for social distancing and sheltering at home are in place in Sacramento County.

Contact school: A parent, guardian or student who needs an official transcript will contact their school to make the request.
Make an appointment for pick-up or delivery: A parent, guardian or student will make an appointment to pick up the official transcript at the school site or request the transcript be mailed to them.
Keep social distance: School staff will follow guidelines for social distancing when delivering transcripts to those who are picking up transcripts.

NEW STUDENT WELCOME AND ENROLLMENT PACKETS

Elk Grove Unified continues to welcome and enroll students for this school year and the next (2020/2021). While our schools remain closed to the public, we have developed the following drop-off, e-mail/mail or fax process for completed enrollment packets:

Parents and/or Guardians can go online to download and print the New Student Welcome and Enrollment Packet
Parent/Guardians who do not have access to the New Student Welcome and Enrollment Packet or who cannot print it, can contact the school via email to make arrangements to pick up a packet and complete it at home.
If a parent and/or guardian is unsure of their school attendance area, they can visit our District’s website here to search by address.
Once the enrollment packet is complete, the parent and/or guardian may email or call the school of residence for an appointment to drop off the New Student Welcome and Enrollment Packet. Parents can also scan and email, mail or fax the documents to the school of enrollment. Please visit the District’s website for a list of schools and the school’s website where you can find the school’s address and contact information.
