Homework Help Chat

Our Homework Help live chat service is available Monday-Friday, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., on our Help for Students Learning From Home page. We can help your students with their homework and connect you with great resources to use in your virtual classroom.

That web page is also filled with resources for teachers, parents and caregivers looking for new ways to keep students engaged while learning from home. For younger readers, check out TumbleBook Library: animated, talking picture books that teach kids the joy of reading in a format they'll love. For older students, try TeenBookCloud: an eBook database for teens and tweens. There’s plenty more to choose from.

eBooks for Kids & Teens

We’ve also created reading lists full of topics to interest your students. #KidsPick and #TeenPick lists include links to our Digital Downloads website with tons of books to choose from, free with your library card.

Virtual Central

Virtual Reality in the classroom is a thing ...and NCHS has it. To support instruction, you can now take student learning to an immersive and sensory/memorable level. Consider a virtual field trip to a location that complements your study. Watch a 360 degree video of a process demonstration. Create a virtual tour of your own through sites anywhere in the world. What possibilities don't exist are yours and students' to create. https://sites.google.com/naperville203.org/virtualcentral
