Several schools districts across the Mississippi Gulf Coast continue to work to provide online learning material for students while they remain at home during the extended closure.
GULFPORT:
The Gulfport School District says they “We are in school – just delivering instruction in a different format.” They will continue to provide school-to-home instruction through April 17.
During the week before April 17, 2020, the COVID-19 Pandemic will be reassessed regarding the use of school site instruction.
On April 14th we will collect lessons and distribute additional school work for students.
Collection and distribution times for Gulfport Schools are as follows:

OCEAN SPRINGS:
In Ocean Springs, the school district has also set out an expectation that students will continue to progress in their learning during the closure of schools under the consultation and guidance of their teachers and through the collaboration of parents and guardians
“Though our school buildings are closed, school is still in session,” OSSD Superintendent Dr. Bonita Coleman. “Our educators are working online to provide exemplary content for our students through appropriate measures. Our teachers will still be available to help our students during this time period. We ask that our parents and students check their email daily for updates from our schools.”
To help with this, OSSD has created a website to facilitate learning from home which can be found at https://www.ossdms.org/apps/pages/LearnFromHome.
