The Coeur d’Alene School District has provided a peek into the daily lives of students and teachers in its new “Remote Learning in Coeur d’Alene Public Schools” YouTube video.
The video, released Monday, shows students engaging in learning activities at home as they use everyday items to conduct their schoolwork. Videos from teachers show how teachers are using modern technology to share lessons and let their students know how much they are missed.
One student sums it up this way: “I miss school.”

Press article, community give boost to program that feeds kids in need
Nearly a month ago, The Press reported on the Coeur d'Alene Backpack Program's dire need for funding to continue to feed kids in need when school is out for weekends and holidays. Volunteers who run the nonprofit program feared it would end at the close of the 2025-2026 school year if they could not drum up enough support. People responded to the news with immense generosity. Within 24 hours of the March 10 article being published, program leaders reported an outpouring from a community that refuses to let kids go hungry. As of Thursday, about $55,000 of the roughly $100,000 needed to continue the program had been raised.
