From an @jcdsps parent: Our “homeschooling” has been an easy transition thus far. We’re so grateful to be part of a school that has the technology and commitment to allow continued learning during these unusual and uncertain times. #elearninginIL

Way to go 5th grade @jcdsps Ss! Proof that learning can continue to happen at home! #elearninginIL

A STEM parent to @soelke_edu: Thanks a ton to you and all the teachers and staff @jcdsps for setting up the e-Learning platform for our students so that they continue to be engaged in their learning amidst all that is going around. #elearninginIL

From an @jcdsps parent to @Joseph_Matuch: I just want to personally thank you for all you are doing for your students at this difficult time. What you are doing with 'zoom' and 'e-learning' is much appreciated, and is giving [our child] some much needed 'normalcy'. #elearninginIL

@jcdsps joke of the day #2 courtesy of Ofc. O’Connell. Keeping routines are reassuring for Ss and we will keep this routine going for our Ss! #elearninginIL

@jcdsps joke of the day #2. Keeping routines for our Ss is important. #elearninginIL

From an @jcdsps parent: I just wanted to give a shout out @coachvine! I am watching their morning meeting, and Mr. Vine interacting with his class over Zoom. I cannot tell you how impressed I am with all he's done to bring about some normalcy to his class's day. #elearninginIL
