How to make the best use of this website?

 Suggestions on using this website: 
  • Main landing page:
    • General information for students (and their parents) for all subject areas and grade levels. 
    • Handy Dandy for All Parents & Students sub-page has sections for:
      • Policies, Procedures and Expectations
      • Ram Jams (school calendar of events)
      • Useful Academic Skills (Learning Skills)
      • Useful links for students and parents
  • Digital Tools and Tips:

    • Sub-pages with tutorials and specific info for: 
      • MS 365 Teams & Class Notebook
      • Zoom
      • Noodle Tools
      • Other Yukon Education Digital Resources (like Databases)
  • Courses 
    • Find your / your student's class webpage by clicking on the Courses tab in the top of the main page.  There will be a drop down menu that lists current classes and pages.  You may want to bookmark the class page specific to your class/your student's class.
      • Look for what we're currently working on in class - great way to start conversations about learning. 
      • Look for due dates and deadlines
      • Look for class activities, class visitors, events etc. 
      • Please note that each class also has a section Team with Class Notebook where the instructor will post assignments and where teachers, EAs, and students can communicate in a privacy-protected digital extension of the physical classroom. 
  • The Dear Parents & Students page includes observations and information on a range of educational and education-related topics of interest. 

I work to keep the website updated on a weekly basis, but it takes a back seat to day-to-day classroom work. 
Some materials that are used in the classroom are copyrighted and cannot be shared online, unless on MS 365 Team/Class Notebook (or a similar password protected school-managed site).  

​Access to this website provides information, some documentation and 
some supplementary information.   

It does not substitute effectively for regular attendance and participation in the classroom.
