Q. Will school buildings be open during remote learning?

During periods of substantial, uncontrolled transmission, school buildings and grounds will be closed. This includes school playgrounds.
Q. How can students access learning materials that are still in the buildings?

2. Antrim or Bennington residents can call TDS Telecom at 888-225-5837. Tell the operator that you heard about the free 60 days of service for families with school-aged children. TDS will arrange an appointment for a technician to install Internet service at your home.

Q. What is a hotspot?
A. If your area does not provide router-based or DSL Internet service, a hotspot is an alternative that allows you to connect to the Internet with your mobile phone using wireless cellular data.

Q. How do you set up a hotspot?
A. On Apple (iOS) phones, select Settings > Cellular > Personal Hotspot and toggle the switch to “On.” You will see the name of the network to which you can connect as well as a password section to keep your hotspot secure.

Middle and high school students will continue to be issued a device as part of the 1:1 Chromebook initiative. Students at these levels will be expected to bring their device to and from home daily.
Q. What is Google Hangouts?
A. Google Hangouts is part of our ConVal G-Suite for Education platform and consists of Google Meet and Google Chat. Google Meet supports video conferencing while Google Chat supports text messaging between users.
Q. Why have Google Hangouts been activated for students?

Q. Can students use Google Hangouts to connect with their peers?
A. Yes! Google Hangouts is a powerful tool that students can use to collaborate and support one another in a remote learning environment.

Q. How will learning be conducted for Region 14 ATC students, for those who come to ConVal and those who go from ConVal to other locations?
A. Students enrolled in CTE programs that take place at ConVal will have access to the corresponding Google Classrooms and will attend in-person instruction with the Blue Cohort.
