-Our youngest learners have the opportunity to engage with technology in their classrooms. The information below will allow parents to set-up access to the device by locating the student’s username and password in the PowerSchool parent portal. Once, logged in for the first time, all are to update the password and set-up the account recovery information. It is recommended that the password is something the student will be able to remember while also unique. Teachers in Kindergarten and 1st grade may utilize QR codes in the classroom to help the student’s login process. The QR code will securely contain the student’s password. Use of technology is to support the learning process. To begin the school year focus will be placed on building community and classroom procedures. Technology will be introduced in mid-to-late September.
