Common Questions

Help! We can’t get in!

If the steps below aren’t working, follow the steps in this troubleshooting form to walk you through common problems. Access to instruction is our priority.

What if I need to meet with my child’s teacher?

No problem! Your teacher can invite you to a Zoom meeting just like always.

How is inappropriate behavior being handled? 

As a district, SCUSD aims to eliminate punitive discipline and replace it with interventions that are consistent, timely, and appropriate.  We provide interventions and support when inappropriate behavior first surfaces and  may follow up with disciplinary action, when necessary and appropriate. Each student and parent sign the Student Acceptable Use Policy, which has been updated for distance learning. We encourage you to review it for continued guidance regarding student behavior. 

If you have concerns, please talk to your child’s teacher.
