The Delta Math account information has been updated. I sent an email to indicate that your account had either been updated OR you should have received an email from Delta Math about your account. Contact me, if needed.
I sent your emails to Math Medic. You should be receiving access to the assessment platform shortly, if you haven't received it yet.
I will be sending out an email this week with the eMath Instruction codes.
I think Quizizz is another platform which I will follow up with this week.
What else? Email me.

This image may be good to print out and hang at each vertical work station. Reminding students of the expectations, especially in the beginning, might be easier for you to just point to the box with the expectation. Your feedback is welcome. If any of you edit this expectation poster, please share!
