Dial-A-Teacher
|
The UFT has re-opened its Dial-A-Teacher program, a homework help line for students, run by classroom teachers.
This resource is available from 4:00–7:00 p.m., Monday through Thursday, for students in grades K–5.
Due to limitations caused by school building closures, the help line is currently only available for ELA and math homework from teachers speaking English.
The UFT is hoping to expand to other subjects, grades, and languages soon.

The DOE is launching a family-facing Remote Learning Technical Support ticket system. Families (or someone on their behalf) can submit requests for technical support for a broad range of issues, including application support, lost, stolen, or broken devices, and delivery status, though the Technical Support for Families page.
