Backpack Defense

The JCPS Backpack of Success Skills is a digital backpack that is located in each student's Google Drive. Here, students will collect evidence of learning in six key areas - prepared and resilient learner, productive collaborator, effective communicator, globally and culturally competent citizen, emerging innovator, and their school's chosen signature item. At the end of eighth grade, each student must use their evidence to defend  their growth and readiness in the backpack skills.
