March 13th was the last day students attended class on campus here in Cabarrus County, North Carolina. As soon as we started discussing going to online learning, our county began to provide resources and ideas to support our students through a new norm. Our county schools provided computers and local internet services provided services to those who needed it. Teachers began receiving instructions on how and when yo provide remote lessons and student online engagement. What I started noticing though was that my HS students were finding themselves having to go to work since they were not attending school. The financial need families began to experience led to students having to get up early and spend all day working or staying at home taking care of their siblings. I began to share these observations on social media and the comments were notices. Below you'll find a couple of press releases that highlight what our ESL students are going through this pandemic time.
