Helping Students to Manage School Work:
All teachers at High Rock are using both Google Classroom and My Homework.
Google Classroom is part of the Google suite of tools for education. Teachers use it to assign and collect assignments, provide resources, give feedback, and more. Your child’s teacher will invite you to be parent/guardian in this app if not already set up from elementary school. Please be on the lookout for this email.
My Homework is our agenda app. Teachers push out homework, quiz/test, reminders, and announcements to the student planners. Parents/Guardians can sign up for access to information from both of these apps. This is not required, but is a great way to have a window into your child's work at High Rock.

Apple ScreenTime Help- Setting up your child's iPad to monitor screen time and set limits.
(note: you will have to do this on your child's iPad- we do not have apple ID's so you can not monitor it from your own apple ID/device). You can do this by using a screentime password.
