We have learned together over our home-based learning periods and accumulated strategies, solutions, and tips to provide our students with the best possible online learning experiences.

You will find great resources to make the most of our home-based learning time.
Online lessons work better if your device is running correctly. Google Meet will perform better if:

Clear browsing data
Shutdown your laptop every day
