Google Classroom will be the "house" for all of your child's assignments. This platform is designed for the students to use with their school gmail account only. We will be adding the green and yellow icon to easily access Classroom to your child's toolbar. It will be important for your child to check here every day. All of their assignments will show up in the CLASSWORK section. As they finish assignments, it is also very important that when they complete an assignment they mark it as done or complete using the blue button.
Our Clever Portal serves as a "house" for all of the online programs and apps we will use. To access Clever, they must use their student gmail account as well. We will also be adding a blue C icon to their toolbar for easy access. In Clever there is a district page for all of our district programs as well as a teacher page where I can add some of the websites we use frequently for easy access.
All of these platforms can be easily accessed from the apps button in the top right corner of your child's webpage.

Class Dojo is a GREAT behavior management tool. Each day your child will earn/lose points for behavior, teamwork, doing their best work.
