To think they will get the full year if this drags on is wishful, so we will stick to the basics which I/we will focus on maths.
Appreciate not all schools have laptops so thats going to be a bitch. Surely schools could print packs off and deliver?

Some tough decisions need to be made and soon.
I work at a school with lots of migrants / non English speaking parents etc.
The only tech they have is a smart phone if they are lucky.
One parent cannot afford to stay home to home teach nor do they have the ability to do so if they wanted.
Printing stuff off in bulk is fraught with danger. Unless copyright rules are lifted that will expose the school to legal problems.
It can be done - the chap that runs the 'Teachers Pet' podcast has removed all licencing restrictions for his software and apparently some schools are using it for lessons.
15% of our children can't even afford the text books - we are advised to not copy anything for them.
