Walnut Grove has been a technologically connected school, but with iPad carts in every math and science classroom on campus, and more carts available for use in the ELA and SS classes, it's definitely jumping to a whole other level this year.
Homework Online and PowerSchool have been required programs, but now teachers are being encouraged to use web-based apps like Edmodo and Google Drive. Throw in Class Dojo, Remind 101, and a handful of other options, and it can be difficult to keep up with all the passwords and login processes.
At Walnut Grove, we rely on supportive parents. Parental involvement is one of the best things about our school. We want all of our parents to feel like they have a handle on keeping up with what their children are doing at WGMS.
If necessary, we would love to be willing to offer a few short trainings on the basics of managing the various sites and software the students and teachers will be utilizing this year. To determine if there is a demand for this, please complete the short questionnaire below, and check back soon for more information.
