Google Classroom and Seesaw will be used for both On-Campus and Remote Learners.
Google Classroom helps organize assignments, boosts collaboration, and fosters communication.

For those students who choose On-Campus Learning, these tools will be used as a digital extension of the classroom. Resources will also be available for parents to learn how to support students in navigating learning through these digital tools.
