TYLER, Texas — The Distance Learning curriculum will help to provide home instruction opportunities for all grades with online platforms and resources. This will also include printed grade specific instructional packets for students without internet access.
We know that distance learning can present certain challenges to both our teachers and students,” Superintendent Dr. Marty Crawford said in a press release. “However, we are confident that the resources we have put together, which will be easily accessible to students and parents, will help make this transitional time as comfortable as possible until we can get back into our facilities and learning together again.”
Campuses will begin reaching out to students over the weekend on accessing and completing work online. Parents and family members should make sure their contact information is up to date through the Parents Self Serve Portal so they may receive this information.
Beginning Monday, the online distance learning plan will be conducted through the Clever portal located at https://clever.com/in/tylerisd. Please allow teachers time over the weekend to get this set up. Students will sign in to Clever using their personal student ID and Student District Password. Once in Clever, they will be able locate their Google classroom and complete assignments and classwork. Parents can access these instructions and other resources and tutorials on the www.tylerisd.org/distancelearning web page.
Also provided on the www.tylerisd.org/distancelearning webpage, are resources for students with disabilities that include social skills, visual supports, parent and home resources through Autism LiveBinder and more. Campuses will conduct 504 meetings via telephone or video conference and teachers will continue 504 accommodations through Google Classroom.
Printed instructional packets will be available for pick up at the same time and locations as the Curbside Meal pick up locations. The packets provide a week’s worth of instruction and are available in English and Spanish. Tyler ISD Transportation also plans to deliver packets to local apartment complexes where the district has a high number of enrolled students.
