Douglas County Schools Emergency Relief Fund
During this time when we are all adjusting to the unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic, The Foundation of Douglas County Schools in coordination with the Douglas County School District has come together to establish the Emergency Relief Fund for Douglas County Schools. This fund will provide assistance to the ongoing efforts to help our students, families, teachers and staff succeed at this time of uncertainty.
The Foundation for Douglas County Schools is committed to expanding services to meet those in need and to this end, we have already committed $25,000 to this effort.

TECHNOLOGY ACCESS
DCSD is committed to providing students and families assistance in obtaining a technology device, and/or internet access to participate in remote learning. Families still in need of remote learning technology can complete DCSD’s technology needs survey to submit a request for a technology device or assistance with internet connectivity.
ONLINE AND REMOTE LEARNING OPTIONS
Douglas County School District’s Remote Learning Plan is designed to keep children engaged so they can learn and grow, while also affording them with meaningful opportunities for connection and community. Additionally, there is a Remote Learning Frequently Asked Questions page on the DCSD website. DCSD will continue to update this page as needed.
SCHOOL COUNSELING / MENTAL HEALTH RESOURCES
School counselors, school social workers, and school psychologists will provide counseling and mental health services to students, both individual and group sessions, using tools such as Google Meets during the closure. Schools will provide access for students to request a counseling session at any time. There are also many community resources to assist families with safety and mental health concerns.
RESPONDING TO THE MOST URGENT NEEDS OF OUR COMMUNITY AS THEY ARISE
DCSD will continue to post up-to-date information, announcements, resources, etc. on the district website at www.dcsdk12.org/coronavirus.
