GREEN RIVER– Sweetwater County School District #2 has issued an update to the community on resources they are offering students and parents throughout the school closures, which will be taking place through at least April 3.

The district recently sent a message to parents of K-5 students to contact the district’s IT department at 872-8819 if they do not have access to an electronic device in their home and would like to check one out.

The high school and middle school students already have access to district Chromebooks.

Currently the district has made online learning resources available, swcsd2.org, to students and families, and they understand some households do not have a computer, ipad, or laptop. Therefore, they would like to help families who need an electronic device be able to acquire them.

The district also sent an email requesting a response if households do not have internet access. The district is not providing internet access for families, but nationwide, businesses are attempting to help with at home access, temporarily. The district wants to be able to share these resources if available.

During the time school is not in session, the Department of Health has urged the district to emphasize the need for social distancing. Parents are asked to help with this by not allowing groups of students to gather.

Parents should expect further communication from principals and teachers soon, as they try to help parents navigate the many resources available and make continued skill development accessible for those without home access.

The district reminds the community that the district will be closed completely on the following Fridays, March 20, March 27, and April 3.

“Thank you for being patient as we navigate our new reality,” Superintendent Jamie Christensen said.
