With many census promotion measures moved online due to COVID-19, it’s particularly important to find ways to reach families who may not have digital access. How about placing printed materials in students’ grab-and-go lunch bags?

Still have centers open? Head Start California has also done an amazing job of ensuring every kid is counted by setting up tablets in the lobbies of Head Start programs that are still open to serve essential workers, so that when parents come in to drop off their children, they can answer the census online.
