TPS homework pick-up changes raising certain questions from parents

Changes in the way Toledo Public Schools does homework pick-up has prompted questions from parents about the process and when assignments will be turned in.

TOLEDO, Ohio — Area parents have had questions about the homework packets for Toledo Public Schools (TPS). 

Those questions ranging from where to pick up assignments to when they will be turned in.

TPS has made changes to the way packets are distributed after confusion and long lines the previous time. Below are answers to common questions about getting students' homework.

Learning packets will be distributed beginning April 6. This new process is spanned across four days to help limit the amount of families in one place at the same time, getting homework.

In order to make sure school volunteers and families practice social distancing, TPS has said packets will be handed out in a 'drive-thru' style. 

When you drive through, you simply tell the the person at the location what grade your child is in. If you have to walk up, they recommend you keep your distance to keep everyone safe.

The biggest concern has been knowing where to go to pick up learning packets.

According to TPS, if you have to pick up your child's work at a physical location it will be based off the schedule created by the district. 

Some families will go to their home school and others will go to a school in the TPS community.

If families have internet access, they do not need to get a physical packet. Students can do their homework online at the links provided on the TPS website.

Students getting packet or using the online access will receive the same learning content based on their grade level, unless specified by their teacher.

If a teacher has already provided work online, students should be doing that work instead of the standardized learning packet.

Leaders at TPS said the assignments will last through the month of April. If closures go beyond May, the district will provide updates. Parents are asked to keep all assignments until students return back to school. 

District leaders are asking parents and students to follow the schedule for easy traffic flow and help ensure a 6-foot distance. Pick up locations and days are listed below, hours are between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m.
