Free Meals During Closure
If your kids (ages 1-19, whether or not they are enrolled in Everett Schools) are in need of a free meal this link will give your directions for how to access those. There is a pre-order form so they know how many lunches they need to make. See this webpage for the most up-to-date information.

Online Tools
All students at Emerson, at least in 1st through 5th grade have used student tools to access their i-Ready, Canvas, AR, Prodigy and possibly other resources. Your student will likely know which ones of these they have used and know their log-in information. If they don't, feel free to email me and I will get that information for you. These are all district approved resources. Some are best suited for students in K-2 and some in 3-5. Kindergarteners may or may not have used any of these tools before.
i-Ready provides lessons at your student's level based on an assessment they took through the program (most recently in January/February). This is a great activity for learning, but also an alternative activity if there is difficulty accessing the general education resources. They use this weekly in the classroom for reading and math so they are well-versed in how to use it.
Prodigy is a resource students who use it seem to enjoy. I have not personally worked with it, but if your student needs help accessing it I'd be happy to connect with their general education teachers or our tech teacher about it and get back to you.
Khan Academy has videos on just about any math topic/skill so if you're working with your student and you or they need a quick refresher on a math skill these are helpful videos.
PebbleGo is a great research tool, especially used with our younger students but can be helpful for older students as well.
Accelerated Reader (AR) is a site where students can find books at their level and take little quizzes on them to show understanding. Typically, students are not allowed to take the quizzes at home during the school year, but they have opened it up for this closure, just as they did last summer for the reading program.
Typing Club helps students work on their keyboarding skills.
You're welcome to click on any of the resources and use them, even if I didn't metion them. If there's any questions you can check in with me or their general education teacher and we will get back to you.

Text to Speech on Chromebooks
This link, a youtube video, must be watched on a phone or personal device or a middle/high schooler's school device because the elementary school students do not have access to youtube videos on their school-provided chromebooks.
This link shares with you how to turn on a feature on chromebooks that will allow you to highlight text to have it be read aloud. This is great for people with lower vision and for people who need help reading the words. It shows you how to turn that feature on as well as multiple ways to use it.
