All Gateway Connect students receive a school-issued iPad that is pre-loaded with all educational apps and programs necessary to complete coursework. Gateway Connect is responsible for all the updates, maintenance, and repairs for school-issued devices.
All students are required to maintain a secondary device (an additional iPad, computer, or phone) to create a seamless online learning experience. The secondary device will be used for video conferencing and the school-issued iPad will be used to complete work.
All classes will meet via Zoom and all coursework will be completed using Google Classroom. Additionally, we utilize a multitude of educational apps and programming, including Edpuzzle, Kahoot!, Quizizz, NoRedInk, Newsela, and more. Our goal is to utilize the best educational tools on the market and we are always evolving and trying new tools.
Classes are held Tuesday-Fridays. Mondays are reserved for teacher planning and collaboration as well as periodic social events and parent/teacher meetings.
Students follow a structured schedule following their assigned classes through Zoom.
Teachers and administrators collaborate as a group of professionals to assess students, determine support needs - both academic and social - and develop educational plans.
