Our 3 Most Important Websites for Your Child's Learning
Roosevelt teachers are busy behind the scenes building online tools to reach your child. We need your help! To streamline tech for families, we're using 3 main tech platforms to share learning: Google Meet, Google Classroom, and Class Dojo. Read or watch a video to learn more about each one, and help your child log on each day. Even though we already had a Roosevelt check-out time, more laptops are still available at these middle/high school times and locations.
GOOGLE MEET
GRADES 1-5: Students meet with teachers and classmates in a live video-conference. Google Meets are a great chance to ask questions, get help, play games, and stay in touch. Students should meet their teachers on Google Meet 1-2 times a week if possible. Watch THIS VIDEO to learn more.
GOOGLE CLASSROOM
GRADES 1-5: Students visit Google Classroom to get their assignments, view tutorial videos from their teachers, and turn in their work. Students should visit Google Classroom each day if possible. Here's a SHORT VIDEO GUIDE FOR PARENTS.
CLASS DOJO
KINDER: Students and families use Class Dojo to easily connect, share videos and photos, view tutorial videos from their teachers, ask questions, and have fun as a class. Families should access Class Dojo a few times a week if possible. Learn more in THIS SHORT VIDEO.
NEW! Paper Learning Packets in the Mail This Week
New learning packets will be mailed on Wednesday. New packets should arrive by Friday. Until then, keep your child busy on the current packet, and stay in touch with teachers on Google Meet, Classroom, Dojo, Remind, or phone to keep learning strong. If you don't get a packet or to update your address, please email our office assistant, Maria ASAP.
