What to Expecttitle

Our Chico Unified staff members are excited to begin utilizing distance learning technology. Accessing these new platforms may be challenging for some families (especially those with young children or special needs). We will continue to provide resources to help parents navigate this new digital platform.

A Parent Technology Support has been established to help families navigate technology and software issues. Staff will be available Monday - Friday from 8:30 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. beginning on Monday, August 17, 2020. If you need technology assistance, please call (530) 801-2716.
