Foundations for Success Checklists - Printable Version (Español)
Traditionally, on the first day of school the halls are bustling with excitement and filled with students trying to locate their classroom. This year is a little different as we start the school year off in a remote learning environment on Monday, August 17, but we certainly want to help your student navigate to their classroom. Please read through the following steps your student will need to take:
Elementary Procedures (PK-5)
- You will receive your student’s schedule from the campus by the end of the day on Friday. Schedules are being shared in a variety of ways: teacher webpages, newsletters, email and/or flyers at “See the Teacher.”
- Please encourage your student to follow these steps to prepare their technology before the first day of school.
- On Monday morning, students need to log onto their device. Any specific times and schedules will be communicated by the campus.
- Please login through ClassLink (iPad app or website for Chromebooks), then access Seesaw. Your child’s classes will appear on the left side of the screen.
- Click your grade level or homeroom class.
- There will be instructions in Seesaw for how to access your teacher’s first Webex session.

Secondary Procedures (6-12)

- Please encourage your student to follow these steps to prepare their technology before the first day of school.
- On Monday morning, students need to log onto their device. Any specific times and schedules will be communicated by the campus.
