School staffers are worried that countless city kids will blow off the remote learning during the coronavirus closures — and wonder how they will be tracked, sources told The Post.

The Department of Education has been scrambling to finalize a remote learning plan that will be able to track if students are connecting to their schools through devices and programs.

But a principal cautioned Wednesday that teachers will struggle to account for student whereabouts from afar.

Many schools don’t have standardized or verified email lists for parents and routes of communication are often unreliable, the Queens administrator said.

“The larger the school, the more traditional the approach, the more challenging the parent and family population in terms of stability, the more difficult it’s going to be,” he said.

The principal said that his school will use a Google Classroom function that registers logged in students daily and generates spreadsheet summaries of their cyber-attendance.

That process will allow administrators to identify kids who have “gone off the grid” and attempt to reach out to them.

Mayor Bill de Blasio has signaled his concern over the prospect of city kids congregating during coronavirus distancing efforts with schools shuttered.

An NYPD source said that the department is bracing for that scenario — especially given recent hikes in crime committed primarily by younger New Yorkers.

“The afternoon shift is considered the worst in the precinct,” the source said. “Why? Because that’s when kids get out. That’s when larcenies and robberies and assaults occur, kids up to no good. Now give them an entire day to cause havoc.”

The DOE said their remote learning model will prioritize monitoring student attendance during the unprecedented closure of the nation’s largest school system.

“Principals will be responsible for establishing a mechanism to monitor student attendance during remote learning, and students are expected to be engaged in remote learning every day during the week,” said DOE spokeswoman Miranda Barbot.
