Dear Deep Roots Families-

We look forward to continuing to work with you and your students this school year.

Technology Distribution
As schools across the country plan to open online, there is significant delay in Chromebook deliveries. We will continue to distribute technology and make progress towards ensuring that every student has their own device as more are delivered to DRCS. Families with more than one DRCS student may have to continue to share devices until more arrive. We will inform you how many devices have been assigned to your household during “Learning Launch Days”.
Technology Support
If you are experiencing issues with the DRCS device you were given in Spring 2020, please bring it with you during the “Learning Launch Days”.
In person technology support will be available during the remote learning portion of the 2020-2021 school year. More information about technology support will be shared during “Learning Launch Days”.
Weekly Meal Supports & Pick up
Charter School families are no longer able to pick up food at any school. Moving forward, DRCS families must pick up weekly food boxes at DRCS. If you would like to participate in weekly food pick up during the remote learning period then you must attend Learning Launch Days in order to sign up.
