FAQ

My child has online classwork and/or homework and is having trouble logging in. What can I do to help?

Clever has made our lives very easy. It is a single sign on that allows your student to get to almost all of the sites that we use. First, make sure your child is using their WTSD Google Account for all homework. Then, to troubleshoot problems logging in, make sure your child is entering their Clever username and password correctly.  Look to make sure they used the correct capitals, letters, numbers, special characters, and spelling of usernames and passwords.  Next, try clicking on the refresh icon.  If you are still having trouble, exit and try entering again in a few minutes.  Finally, if all else fails, email me at amy.ryan@wtsdnj.com.

What kind of homework should my child expect in third grade?

Third graders receive 30-40 min. of homework Monday through Thursday.  Usually Language Arts and Math are assigned daily, with Science and Social Studies thrown in.  Online assignments and worksheets are typical. Homework is always posted on the board, and students copy it daily in their planners.

My child forgot their homework/planner at school.  Now what?

Our Reading, Writing, Math, and Science programs all have online components. Check your child's planner for their specific username and password to gain access.  If they forgot their worksheet or planner, check and see if you can get a quick picture or copy from a friend.

I need to get in touch with you.  What is the best way?

The fastest way is a note in their planner.  I check them every morning by 9:30am.  You can call the office, and if it is urgent, they will call my room or you can leave a message.  You may email or text message me through Remind101, but please give me time to respond.  

 My child will be away for a few days or longer.  Can I request classwork/homework?

We can not honor work requests ahead of time.  Your child will be responsible for the work they miss upon return.
