The research approach was qualitative, exploratory, an online questionnaire with open questions was applied to 42 public elementary school teachers. The main results show that among the strategies used it was through the establishment of distance education through digital platforms, video conferences and the use of social networks. In the case of students who did not have access to the Internet or computer equipment, calls were made to parents, monitoring of the television program Aprende en Casa and delivery of printed material; as well as continuing with traditional strategies such as the evidence portfolio, textbook exercises, and tests. The main challenges were the search for communication channels for those students in vulnerable situations; as well as the difficulties with the parents in following up on the tasks and exercises of their sons and daughters.
