The Wichita Public Schools has opened three Family Help Centers to provide support for students and parents as a new school year begins.
The Help Centers will provide in-person support for families in technology support, school-related counseling and bi-lingual support.
The centers will be open from September 10th through September 25th from 8:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. and from 12:30 p.m. to 3:10 p.m. They will be located at North High School at 1437 North Rochester, West High School at 820 South Osage and the Alvin Morris Administrative Center at 903 South Edgemoor. They are open to families from across the district. Masks and social distancing will be required.
Support is available in three areas:
Technology Support
· Help with district-provided laptops, Chromebooks, iPads and Mifi devices (no technology distribution will occur)
· Tutorial help for Teams and SeeSaw
Counseling
· Learn how to navigate student schedules
· Understand how to navigate MySchool Remote
· Learn who to contact for school-related questions
Bi-lingual language support
· Spanish and Vietnamese interpreters available to answer questions.
Some students and parents had technical problems with remote learning on Tuesday’s first day of classes. The district created a help line to help resolve those issues, and it is 973-4357.
