Learning at Home Info For our JES StudentsPer WS/FCS and our Superintendent’s expectations, student learning must continue in the event that the district feels it is safest for students and staff to close schools. If this becomes the case, learning must continue at home and online.Teachers at JES will post lessons and assignments online. Students will be accountable for completing this online work, and teachers will be monitoring student progress. This packet contains directions for how to access the digital resources students will need as they learn at home. Our goal is to keep our student leaders connected and LEARNING until we are back together at school again. As a reminder, all students are expected to follow the WS/FCS Student Technology Agreement. We appreciate all effort and support from families. Keep practicing our 7 Habits!Table of Contents for How to Access:Page 2JES Learning at Home PowerSchool Page*ALL Students K-5Page 3Discovery EdScience K-5Page 4I-Ready Math 1-5, Reading 4-5Page 5IstationReading K-3Page 6RazKidsReading K-3, some 4Page 6Google ClassroomPage 7TroubleshootingPage 8Student Technology Agreement Excerpt*This is where lessons and assignments will be located.
