School Updates

Principal Burns Dragon Update – March 30

Greetings Douglas Dragons!

I hope everyone is doing well. Today teachers will be provided the implementation plan for distance learning (beginning April 16th) and will be digging into that information. You should have been contacted by your student’s teacher about your technology needs. Please reach out to them if you haven’t done so yet. I have amassed all of our Chromebooks and they are ready for deployment to those who need them, as soon as I receive directions from the county. Please know your teachers are diligently working to meet the needs of their students during this unprecedented time. If you need something from me, please email (dburns@wcpss.net). We all appreciate your grace, and please allow yourself grace as some days of homeschooling are better than others.

Saludos Douglas Dragons!

Espero que todos esten bien. Hoy los maestros recibiran el plan de implementacion para el aprendizaje a distancia a partir del 16 de Abril y estaran investigando esa informacion. Deberia haber sido contactado por el maestro de su hijo/a sobre sus necesidades tecnologicas. Por favor, comuniquese con ellos si aun no lo ha hecho. Acumule todos nuestros Chromebooks y estan listos para implementarse para aquellos que los necesitan, tan pronto como reciba instrucciones del condado. Queremos que sepa que sus maestros estan trabajando diligentemente para satisfacer las necesidades de sus estudiantes durante este tiempo sin precedentes. Si necesitas algo de mi por favor enviame un correo electronico (d.burns@wcpss.net). Todos apreciamos tu gracia y permitete gracia, ya que algunos dias de educacion en el hogar son mejores que otros.

Cudite – Take care,
Principal Burns

Weekend Update

Hello Douglas families! A few weekend notes:

Everyone should have received a survey from their teacher about their family’s needs; please be sure to respond to this ASAP. This is VERY important for planning purposes.

Todos deberían haber recibido una encuesta de su maestro sobre las necesidades de su familia, asegúrese de responder lo antes posible. Esto es MUY importante para fines de planificación.

WCPSS is actively working to get devices into kids’ hands for remote learning. If you are in need of a device, please make sure you reach out to your child’s teacher. Additionally, we are trying to crowdsource some more devices to help supplement students at Douglas. If you have an old laptop, Chromebook or tablet device you are able to donate, please reach out. We do have someone available to wipe data off of these if you’re unsure about how to do it yourself.

We are also still accepting donations to provide families with food. Feel free to message us if you are able to provide, or if you are in need of food. Additionally you can text FOODNC to 877-877 to find additional food resources.

También seguimos aceptando donaciones para proporcionar comida a las familias. No dude en enviarnos un mensaje si puede proporcionar o si necesita alimentos. En necesidad si la comida? El servicio también está disponible en español enviando mensajes de texto a COMIDA al 877-877.

Thanks as always for supporting our Dragons, we are so proud of the work our community has done to help one another!

How to Log In to Your Student’s WCPSS Account

There have been a lot of questions about HOW to access student accounts. Please see the guide below for details. Note, if you are unsure of your student’s username and password and they can’t remember — typically it is their student ID/lunch number OR first initial, last name, OR first initial, middle initial, last name. If these don’t work, please reach out to your teacher.

On the Douglas Homepage:

Under user type – select “Student”

Your student’s ID and Password will be the same.

Tah Dah! You’re in the Wake Portal. Please note that content varies based on grade level, so don’t fret if your student’s screen doesn’t contain the same items as below.
