- Parents are continue to share that they go to Classroom to assist their child and it is not being updated. Part of our mission is to foster collaboration between students, educators, and families. When we encourage them to go to Classroom and it is not updated or utilized we are failing in our mission. Your performance task and any potential homework is a tool to assist in that collaboration.
