Students will also perform activities using integrated software programs. Students will learn to use the Internet, and they will be given assignments in which searching the Internet will be required.
Google Classrooms
All assignments will be posted on Google Classroom. All students have access to the classroom which allows them to track, print and complete their assignments online.
Google Classroom is a secure learning network for teachers, students and schools. It provides a safe way for us to connect, share content, access homework, participate in discussions and receive class information. Using Google Classroom allows you and your child to have access to course work at any time through the Internet and is accessible online and through any mobile devices with Internet capabilities—including iPhone, iPad and Android devices. Additionally, the use of Classroom will help keep students and parents informed of due dates, assignments and grades. Classroom is also useful to check on work missed when absent and to ask questions about assignments.
Guardian email summaries
For parents who would like to monitor their student's classroom progress can sign-up for guardian email summaries. You can choose the frequency of the emails—daily or weekly—and you can unsubscribe or remove yourself from Classroom at any time.
Guardian email summaries include:
Missing work—Work that’s late at the time the email was sent
Upcoming work—Work that’s due today and tomorrow (for daily emails) or work that’s due in the upcoming week (for weekly emails)
Class activity—Announcements, assignments, and questions recently posted by teachers
As a guardian, before you can receive email summaries, you must receive and accept an invitation from your student’s teacher or school.
