- Quarter 1 (July-September)

FY21 Virtual Implementation Resources
Below, resources created specifically for implementing a fully virtual program are provided. These resources are all embedded within the quarterly checklists, but are directly linked in service of easy access. In addition to the resources linked below, implementation stakeholders are still encouraged to explore other sections of the Digital Program Manual as there are still many resources that are applicable to virtual implementation.
NOTE: If regional leaders wish to customize any of the resources linked below, please ensure that the main copy is not edited and instead download a version or make a copy to a local folder.
