The following three platforms are used across classes at 7/8. Please see descriptions and features below.
Each teacher will use Google Classroom to assign work and learning resources, and communicate with students.
Parents can elect to receive weekly or daily Classroom digests, but ultimately Classroom is a tool for students.
IC is used to record attendance and is where parents and students can check for any missing or incomplete work across all classes. We are committed to maintaining regular updates in IC during our home learning experience.
Every parent and student should have access to IC and we encourage regular checks to ensure that all work is being completed.
SeeSaw is our digital portfolio platform. This is a space where students will be adding artifacts and evidence of their learning process.
We encourage parents to sign up for SeeSaw in order to see the incredible learning your child is doing.
