Not Getting the District Emails?

The district periodically sends informational emails out to anyone who has subscribed to our email list(s).

Video Issue

Teachers are creating and sharing a number of Screencastify videos during the closure. There are time when you need to download the video to watch it, but some students have reported issues when downloading the video. A message appears stating that you do not have enough space on your drive to download the video.

Mrs. Kevern made a short tutorial on how to fix this problem.
