Abstract: The COVID-19 pandemic imposed a series of challenges on the school, with school attendance being one of those. The difficult task was to ensure continuity of studies without the possibility of accessing schools in person. In view of this scenario, the present study aims to assess the level of student participation from remote activities during the pandemic period between April and December 2020. To do so, student accesses to the Google platform during 30 weeks of remote activities were surveyed. The researched students are enrolled in classes of the final years of elementary school in a school located in the city of João Pessoa-PB. It is concluded that, in a context of social vulnerability, although the technological proposals presented by the school are very important to guarantee the continuity of studies, they are not an option for many students who are deprived of the digital inclusion process. We believe that proposals for the post-pandemic should be developed taking into account results such as those presented in this article, without which, the answers to the problem will be innocuous for the lives of a large part of Brazilian students. Keywords: Remote Education. Pandemic. School frequency.
