What are families doing about education and school closings due to COVID-19?

While I understand school closures, the online curriculum has been less than efficient. This is especially true for my 7 year old son. Why not just suspend the remaining school year if no deadline if given.

Is yours required and/or graded?
our schools are on hold for the time being. And the teachers are starting to send educational supplements, to help keep kids on track, though nothing will be graded.
our 1st grade teacher signed up for the reading site EPIC where it has thousands of books to download to your device and read/play with. Teachers are able to sign up for free and give the access for free to their class families (until end of June)

I believe it’s graded, but I could be mistaken. It’s just a mess trying to have a 2nd grader do work online.

A week ago, when the first couple of cases of the COVID-19 had been reported here (not yet confirmed at that time), our schools shut down in effort to try and slow the spread. At that time we were told "schools will be closed for the duration of the public health emergency.” - which was expected to be a few weeks.
Now as it has spread more throughout our state and several cases have been confirmed we are being told This currently does not have an end date, but extends beyond the initial return to school date. As such, our schools will remain closed until further notice.


The teachers may send work assignments (that won't be graded) out via text/email or whatever forms of communication they have set up for their classes to help bridge the gap between now and our return to normalcy, whenever that may come.

I'm wondering what other families are experiencing with school closings.
What are your schools doing for assignments?
What types of supplementing are you using?
Anyone know any websites that educational AND FREE (way to many have fees )
For homeschooling families- what curriculum sources do you use?
What questions have I not asked here that you may have answers to OR what questions have not been asked here yet that another family might be asking along the same lines?

Thanks everyone.

My daughter is a freshman in high school. This was my biggest issue! Our district was right on it. My daughter has actually been using the app for awhile now. It's called Googleclassroom. The teacher's liked to post their daily assignment's on line prior to their class. I was'nt comfortable with her doing 80% on line. Now I am thankful. I know what your going through.
