Robots Offer Alternative For Homebound Students

For students unable to physically make it to school, there's a new option: so-called "remote presence robots" that allow kids to participate in class virtually without leaving their home or hospital bed.

 

At least 50 children across the country are using the devices to attend class from afar, according to The New York Times. A common one called VGo connects to the child's computer via an Internet connection allowing students who are home-bound to remain actively engaged with their classmates.

VPK Online Registration Coming Soon!


As you may already know, effective July 1, the Early Learning Coalition will be operating under a new service delivery model. This means they will be your one stop for all VPK and School Readiness early childhood services.

 

To better meet your needs, VPK Registration will be available online effective July 1st. This means that parents and caregivers will no longer have to visit a service center to receive their Certificates of Eligibility (COE). Once VPK Online is deployed, all you will need to do is visit our website to fill out the application, then scan and upload your documents directly to our site. Once your information is processed, you can print your COE right at home. You can then take your COE to the childcare provider of your choice.
