  • Due to the precautionary measures taken by the school district in hopes to slow down the spread of the COVID-19 virus, schools will be using Electronic Learning through the remainder of the year. Your students' assignments can be found on Google Classroom. I, Mrs. Kammer, will be updating assignments as we move through the following weeks. Check Google Classroom each day. Students are expected to complete and turn in all assignments just as they would at school. If you have questions, please email me. We're almost there! :)
  • If your student has Internet access, they need to log-in to Google Classroom each day to participate and complete assignments.
  • In order for students to access assignments and material at home they will need to authenticate their chrome books for off-campus connectivity.
