Parents Guide to Schoology

While we are working as quickly as possible to upload content to each of our courses, since this is a building year, content will not be available as quickly as it has been in the past.

Our ultimate goal is for students to be able to work up to 2 weeks in advance, at this time, the upcoming week's work will be posted no later than Monday mornings at 8am.

Thank you for your patience with us as we work to build quality lessons that are tailored to our students' needs!

This week, students will begin painting murals of their expedition sites! Please wear your paint-friendly clothing each day. We're making something beautiful, but your good clothes may not be as impressed. 😊

In addition to the texts students will be reading together as a class, students are also required to read one parent approved book of his/her choosing each month.

Students will be given time each week to read these books, but we know some students would like to get a head start!

We have hardcopy books available in our classroom library, or students may obtain a book from another source. If your child needs help choosing a book, or if you have any questions about this, please contact one of your child's teachers!

The following will be the first books that students will read this year. Digital copies of these texts will be available to students inside of their courses, but students are also welcome to purchase a hardcopy of these books.

6th Grade: Space Case by Stuart Gibbs (Begin reading in 9/28)

7th Grade: 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea by Jules Verne, Classic Starts Edition (Begin reading 9/28)

8th Grade: The Outsiders by SE Hinton (Begin reading in 9/7)
