School Closure Information

Digital Learning Information and Resources

During our school closure, all teachers will be moving their classes online to Google Classroom. Teachers have added students to their classrooms through their BPS email address. Students should check their emails for invites to Google Classroom and notifications about assignments and due dates. If you do not know your BPS email address or are having trouble logging in, please email Lilly O'Flaherty at loflaherty@bostonpublicschools.org.

Teachers will be available throughout the week to work with students individually or in small groups on the video conferencing platform Zoom. Zoom can be accessed on a computer or through an app for your phone. For instructions on how to download and use Zoom, please visit the BPS Technology help page. For information regarding teachers' Zoom office hours or to get in touch with them, you can find your teacher's contact information on our faculty directory page.
