IMPORTANT FOR FAMILIES AND STUDENTS
IMPORTANT FOR FAMILIES AND STUDENTS
All students need a Gmail account for school this year. Pear Deck, via Google Slides, is an interactive instructional tool that teachers will be using to engage all students in the lesson, to monitor student participation, and to check for understanding. In order to facilitate this, we are requiring that all students create a Gmail account with their proper first name and last name. It is recommended that their password be the same as their SPS password, SP and their day of birth (SpMMDDYY). This program will also ensure that students have access to the lesson notes when absent, or if they need to refer back to a particular lesson.
