Short Term Absence
From time to time, our students may encounter a situation where they must remain at home while their classmates are in the classroom or the entire classroom must quarantine for 1-5 days. During these times, students may elect to work on any of the following enrichment activities below. In addition, students may explore activities from the "Explore" section of this website. All logins and passwords can be accessed from the following locations: Google Classroom (located in both Teacher and Specialty classrooms) and Class Tag (see communication from Michelle Fojtik).
