Here are some tips to help your child succeed during distance learning. 

• Make it a norm in your home to have your student attend class daily with video on. We cannot ensure your child is learning if we cannot ensure they are there. Many turn off their video and don't respond when called on, indicating they are not there.
• Make sure your child is out of bed, sitting up in a quiet place. Please do your best to remove distractions from around your child during the school day.
• Check your child's Google Classroom daily for assignments, work returned, and missing work. Seeing that they submitted an assignment is not enough. Too many students are submitting blank assignments to give the appearance that they did the work or submitting partially done work. Incomplete work will be returned by the teachers. 
• If your child is struggling, have them attend teacher office hours for support. All teachers have one hour of office hours daily immediately after school.
• Sign your child up for additional tutoring through the after school program or NUSD virtual tutoring program. (see message below)

The following is the account creation process for parents/guardians:

• Each Monday, NUSD will generate Portal usernames and passwords for new parent/guardians.  An activation notice with the URL, username, and password will be sent to the parent/guardian at the email address they have on file in Infinite Campus (comes from donotreply...check your spam).
• These activation notices expire each week, so new activation notices will also be sent each Monday to existing users who have not yet activated their accounts. If you don't get a notice, that means you already have an established account.
• Parents/guardians will be prompted to set a new password and to establish security settings so that they can reset a forgotten password.
