Enriching Education: Resource Hotline for Parents and Teachers

I recently found out about a free hotline and informational website provided for families and teachers impacted by school closures. They can give callers concrete help and/or advice on a wide range of issues including:
  • Remote learning
  • Finding meals
  • Emergency childcare
  • Live tech support
  • Financial security
  • Psychological support
  • Free tutoring

This coordinated effort is run by 150+ volunteers and 80+ partner organizations - including Class Dojo, Crisis Text Line, Khan Academy, Modulo and Revolution Foods (see full list below). The hotline is staffed by volunteers with expertise in education and social services.
This is the place to call if a parent wants help planning their child’s education, needs healthy meals or just wants someone to talk to.
Parents and teachers seeking help can visit schoolclosures.org
