Backpack of Skills

What is a Backpack?

The JCPS Backpack of Success Skills is an ongoing portfolio of a student's best work from their time in JCPS. Your JCPS Backpack can be found at jcps.me/backpack. All students will be responsible for maintaining their JCPS Backpack of Success Skills by adding meaningful work into their digital portfolio every six weeks. By the end of both the 6th and 7th grade year all Olmsted students will be responsible for uploading at least one assignment that represents a student's best work in each of the five areas: emerging innovator, productive collaborator, effective communicator, globally and culturally competent citizen, and prepared and resilient learner. In 8th grade students are required to successfully defend their backpacks in front of a panel of adults. As you complete assignments this year, be thinking about your work that best represents you and adds it to your backpack.
