Engage!
Our synchronous sessions will be held through Engage now! This EXCITING new feature is our way of saying You Matter! It's a simple process you will see a new tab on your student dashboard that will say: "Classroom" check it out for our upcoming sessions!
Currently, synchronous sessions will not be factored into your grade. It's a new process and we don't want to penalize you for something we're still working all the kinks out.
