COVID-19 Work at Home April 2020
Staying Home & Staying Connected
Hello, High Desert ESD! It’s Spring 2020 and we find ourselves working from home to support families, students, schools, and programs during continuing spread of COVID-19 cases in Oregon. This site is a collection of tips and tricks, resources for families, pandemic news, frequently asked questions, and professional learning opportunities. Stay at home. Work at home. Save lives!
Chat with Tech
Have a question about your tech? Need additional tools? Click the red support bubble in the bottom right corner of this screen. We are here to help from 7:30 a.m.-4:00 p.m.
You can also submit a ticket.
Professional Learning
We are scheduling training and learning throughout the month of April. HDESD staff will be leading Zoom sessions on topics from tech to mindfulness…and eveything in between.
Stay Informed
As Oregon and the world work to mitigate the COVID-19 pandemic, news happens fast. We have curated news feeds and updates to keep us all in the know.
Stay Home. Stay Safe.
The best way to mitigate the pandemic is to minimize contact during this period of aggressive virus spread. This site is designed to gather resources in support of that.
