Kamloops school district offering online tools for parents at home

Tools for parents at home

In an effort to help parents staying at home with their children, School District 73 is regularly uploading tools and ideas to its website.

A specific parent resources page has been created, and Supt. Alison Sidow is hoping parents will check it often because it's being updated regularly. Included are lists of activities, virtual tours of museums, ways to keep kids active indoors and links to online educational entertainment.

"We're updating that frequently," Sidow tells Castanet. "There's also information on managing anxiety in children."

"It can be very stressful in some homes."

She adds the school district's meal program started on Monday; it provides food to children identified as needing support.

"We're doing everything we can to provide resources for families," she says.
