| Mrs. Maxon & Mrs. Rosenthal are #supeRHEroes! "Mrs. Maxon and Mrs. Rosenthal have been so incredibly patient and encouraging… They see the GOOD in my student! They love on him, EVEN when he is difficult to love.
They have been so supportive of me, and provide me great feedback! I TRUST that they want to see my child succeed, and they are willing to partner with me to ensure he gets the tools he needs to be successful in school!
Despite the challenges my son is having with behavior and attention this school year, he has shown such great improvement with his math skills, reading level, and handwriting. He comes home feeling CONFIDENT of his work in class, which tells me he FEELS loved and supported by his teachers!
I am thanking God for these two amazing and gifted teachers… In a year that is so incredibly challenging for your team, they not only are RISING to the challenge, they are continuing to stay committed to their focus on educating and encouraging students in the classroom." |

Virtual Learning Support The Virtual Learning Support page is the go-to resource for students and parents. Whether you're getting started using a digital device or online application for the first time or need to learn more about how to use a resource, you'll find the support you need here. Our Quick Reference Guides (QRGs) were designed to give you clear, step-by-step directions for completing common tasks within various applications. In addition to our QRGs, you will find helpful videos that walk you through the applications used for virtual learning. On this page, we've compiled information and resources specifically for students and parents to help with common learning tools like Google Classroom, Google Meet, Seesaw, ClassLink, and much more. For students who have received a district-issued device, we have several resources available to help parents and students with technical issues. Our goal is to ensure that parents and students have the knowledge and technology skills needed for success during virtual learning. |
