Dear Parents and students,

Congratulations for completing the first week of home-based instruction!   Many of our students did quite well.

If you were not able to access your google class last week for some reason here is the code for biology:  oowi7zd

A few students were confused about the CK-12 integration with Google Classroom.  In the past, students would complete their ck-12 practices by logging into CK-12. However, now everything is done through assignment links in Google Classroom.  Please keep in mind students must click on the link in Google classroom to receive credit for the assignment.  They can no longer go directly to CK-12 and move through the readings and practices by clicking the arrow button in CK-12.  Once more, it is necessary for students to click on the link for each assignment in Google classroom in order for Google classroom to give them credit.

Also,  a few students were confused about how to turn in the project in Google Classroom.  Here is a tutorial about how to turn in a project if needed: https://support.google.com/edu/classroom/answer/6020285?co=GENIE.Platform%3DDesktop&hl=en
