Please find below a list of remote learning resources for families.
In terms of technology, Grades 4 and up will primarily use Google Classroom. Grades Pre-K to 3 will use a combination of Seesaw, Zoom and printed packets. As you set up your child’s digital classroom, you may have some questions or run into some issues with technology. We are here to help and encourage you to email [email protected] with questions as they arise. In the meantime, please utilize this list of ongoing technology resources from Kerry Hurwitch, Technology Specialist.
For families using Seesaw for the first time, the following websites offer helpful tutorials and resources:
