Families: Find critical information such as 1) how to access your child's schedule, 2) how your child(ren) will get materials, and 3) what to expect on the first day, in the SFUSD Distance Learning Guide Fall 2020: https://t.co/RjNzvhbI5B #WeAreSFUSD

@SanFranciscoPTA @jmeadow @SFUnified @beacon_sf @SFUSD_Supe @theartdontstop @CAO_SFUSD @SF_DCYF @SFUSDVAPA Getting art supplies to families will be an important service to coordinate with school communities. 📒🖍✏️🖌️

We're used to bringing a box of supplies, including sketchbooks for each student, to partnering classrooms. We're going to need help on that now. 😀
