1. If your child's teachers are providing school work, make homework time a priority in your daily schedule. (Your school may be posting updates on their website, or sending updates by email to parents who register to receive them.) Assigned homework will help your child keep up with classmates, prepare for the time when school resumes, help them settle into familiar routines, and give you an opportunity to take a break and get some things done.
TIP: I recommend that homework be done in a quiet space where you can keep an eye on progress, assisting when needed. I would avoid sending a child to their own room, where distractions abound.
2. Many school boards have websites with information pages for parents, useful links to learning resources, and portals where students can log on to learn. Check your school board's website for school system updates.
3. Every government has a Department of Education. Many already have parent pages with useful information, online learning resources, and a portal where students can log on to learn.
