Let’s Connect – Barriers to remote learning

Families, we invite you to connect with our school’s regional superintendent, Dr. Sally Lancaster and other district leaders on September 21 from 5-6 p.m. We want to engage in conversation about remote learning and ask you to provide feedback to help us improve. We want to hear from you and hope you can attend a zoom meeting to share your thoughts. Click to register and get a link to join the event. Let’s Connect!

Students should log into their virtual classroom, Canvas (link above) at 9:15 a.m. daily to begin class. Canvas can also be accessed through the EPS Student Tools page, or you can bookmark the direct link in a web browser. To log in to Canvas, your child needs their student ID# and password. For the majority of our students, their password is also their ID#.

Some students on district Chromebooks are struggling with Zoom audio and video reliability. This is an issue that Zoom is aware of and working on a long-term solution for schools using Chromebooks. There are some recommendations that may help. It is the combination of audio and video that is the struggle. 

• Shutdown (power button) and restart your Chromebook every morning. 
• Ensure you have a strong WIFI signal on Chromebook. 
• Ensure your computer is fully charged and plugged into a power outlet. 
• Ensure the computer is positioned to provide proper ventilation to avoid CPU overheating. 
• Close all unused/non-active browser tabs in your browser.
• Turn off your camera in Zoom.
• Ensure your full name is displayed in Zoom. 
• Mute your microphone in Zoom, use microphone only when speaking. 
• Use the Zoom chat feature. 
• Use the Speaker View only, not the Gallery View in Zoom.
