I need help connecting to the internet at home. What do I do?

One way the district has been helping families connect to the internet is by providing mobile 'MiFi hot spot' devices. To inquire about one of these, please provide your household information to your child's school's local district office. If you are not sure which local district you belong to, use the school directory tool to locate your child's school and identify the correct loccal district.

How do I get help logging in?

What if a device is lost or stolen?
-
You should report a lost/stolen device to the issuing school as soon as possible. Things happen, but we do have measures in place to help recover devices that go missing.
- First: our technicians are able to deactivate devices remotely wherever they are; thus, the device will not be usable to anyone who may find or steal the device.
- Second: lost/stolen devices are immediately reported to law enforcement who can use global position system (GPS) technology to track down the location of the device.

May virtual classroom instruction be recorded and re-used?

Any lessons in which students participate must not be recorded, as it may be a violation of privacy rights. Teachers, however, may wish to pre-record lessons (without students) using applications provided by the district.

How can I get a telephone conference line to stay in touch with my co-workers?
-
Due to the cost-prohibitive nature of telephone conference bridges, we are recommending employees take advantage of online conferencing tools instead. They provide a great deal more functionality than traditional telephone bridges without the cost.
LAUSD has an agreement with Zoom, enabling employees to use their single sign-on accounts to set up online meetings free of charge.
