After insisting that we do nothing for a week and a half, my school gave me a day and a half to track down every family from my home room and check on them and their readiness for online learning.  And if I missed anyone, that family *might* not be able to get one of the limited number of Chromebooks we have available.  I am down to four families, but I am out of options for how to reach them.  Oy.  Couldn't we have spaced this out a little better.  I'm exhausted, but I hope to get back to writing tomorrow.

Oh god, I feel this pain so much. I'm a speech therapist in two elementary schools, and we're trying to transition to online learning. It's so ridiculously complicated and difficult.

Hang in there. I'm in New Zealand, and we had 48 hours to get ready for our lockdown. I'm sure you can imagine the absolutely mad scramble.

I work for adult education and they had a system in place that they were gently introducing.... but it’s a bit over whelmed at the moment! Good luck.

Ugh is right! Especially since the families that are hard to reach are most likely the ones that would need the technology. But you can only do what you can do - hang in there.

It is a hallmark of this situation that we're constantly playing catch up. Decisions get made and suddenly we have to scramble to make it happen. I really feel for you, hang in you'll get through this and try not to be hard on yourself if you can't get through to everyone. It's not always possible and we have more limited options right now.

Good luck! My county is contradicting themselves with their plans for their employees every other day. It's crazy. I hope you can reach those families. Do any of the other students know how to contact those four?

Try use Facebook messenger. Almost everyone has it, and you can message people you aren't FB friends with.

Use whitepages to reverse search the address then call any other residents at that location
