How can I easily access links to websites like Seesaw, Dreambox, Reflex Math and many others my Elementary child needs to get to?
You can easily access link used by Elementary teachers at these two links:
New Heights - https://bit.ly/EGFNHSites
South Point - https://bit.ly/EGFSPSites
DREAMBOX INFORMATION
***Please note: Dreambox is NOT an app. It is web-based, meaning you will need to go to Dreambox online from your browser. Use the links above for easy access to Dreambox.
For Grades K-2 - get to the sign in page, please click in the upper right hand corner on No classroom code? Click here. This will bring you to the New Heights Teachers' names. Please have your child click on their teacher and if they can't remember their picture password, please email their teacher.
For Grades 3-5, students should use their school-issued username and password. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact your child's teacher.
Here is how attendance will be taken across the district.
Attendance for the PREK- 5
Classroom teachers will take daily attendance through the platform form shared. The expectation is that students will access the Google form each day between 8:00 AM and 12:00 PM. Attendance may need to be back-entered from the previous day if the student responded outside of the teacher work day.
Attendance for Middle and High School
Office staff will take daily attendance through a google form shared via email. The expectation is that students will access the google form each day between 8:00 AM and 1:00 PM. Attendance may need to be back-entered from the previous day if the student responded outside the hours.
Questions regarding attendance can be answered at the school your child/children attend.
What if my son/daughter has not been contacted by the teacher?
Please reach out to the teacher via email. On this site we have included a direct link to the teacher's email and google site so you can see their distance learning plan. Just scroll down a little bit and you will see all the teacher's email and google site.
What if in our daily schedule our children/child has time to extend their learning?
We invite families to use this unique time to enrich their student's learning, while encouraging creativity, and project-focused learning that harnesses student's natural curiosity and creativity. These resources below included in the link may be helpful to incorporate into a daily routine. Northshore School District in Washington has been at this a few weeks longer and have some very good resources.
