Virtual Learning

How are we monitoring teachers

Teachers are conducting lessons for students through Google Classroom; Microsoft Teams; Class Dojo;

Grades are being posted in Infinite Campus. Groups are formed by using MAP data

Food service sites in DeKalb have been communicated to parents.

Other Academic Concerns

The top priority at this time is to make sure our students are connecting digitally. At this time we have no other means of communicating. Through Class Dojo teachers have ensured that parents are getting the messages about assignments.
