Learning
Matters
We will be using Google Classroom and Zoom to ensure minimal disruption to your educational program.
Daily activities and lessons will be posted in Google Classroom which students need to complete. There will be a live lesson with the teacher via Zoom for each class [see Live Class Schedule Tab]. We encourage participation in the live lesson so students can talk to the teacher and engage with them. There will be a discussion before and after the live lesson that will not be recorded so the students can connect with one another.
Please know that Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) governs the privacy of personally-identifiable information in education records, not live instruction. During sessions, we ask that the student maintain confidentiality by going to a quiet room if possible.

Safe2Say
Safe2Say Something is a youth violence prevention program run by the Pennsylvania Office of Attorney General. The program teaches youth and adults how to recognize warning signs and signals, especially within social media, from individuals who may be a threat to themselves or others and to “say something” BEFORE it is too late. With Safe2Say Something, it’s easy and confidential to report safety concerns to help prevent violence and tragedies. Click the link at the top of our page to learn more or make a report.
Teen Talk and Text Lines
The Montgomery County Peer Support and Teen Talk Lines are warm lines where teens and adults can speak or text anonymously with a peer about any issues or problems they are facing without fear of judgement. The talk/text lines are available seven days a week from 1:00 p.m. – 9:00 p.m. The line is closely tied to the Montgomery County Mobile Crisis Program and is a supplement to that service. This also allows any true crisis calls to be immediately transferred to a crisis worker.
