Class Link Log In Instructions
Our technology has had a major change from My Portal to Class Link. This new app will be a landing spot for all student apps. You can watch our teacher librarian, Mrs. Derichs, show you how to access Class Link from home in the video attached.
In Your Backpack
Don't forget to pack these daily needs!
Students should continue to always have a water bottle and snack or two packed in their backpack each day. Water and a nutritious snack fuel the brain and keep students going as they learn and grow!
