Technology Setup

Each student receives their own Microsoft 365 account and a Teams classroom. This gives them full access to the software needed for class, with no additional purchases required.

Students meet weekly on Microsoft Teams, where they attend class, view assignments, and submit homework. Everything is housed in one place, making it easy for families to stay organized.

All homework can be completed directly in Teams. If your child prefers to print the assignments and write by hand, they can upload a photo of their completed work to turn it in.

Webcams are required. Live video allows teachers to build strong relationships, give personalized support, and maintain an interactive classroom experience.

Supplies Needed

To make the most of class time, students should be prepared with:

• Pencil and lined paper
• Printed or digitally accessible in-class assignments
• A desktop or laptop computer (tablets are discouraged)
• Working headphones
• A functioning webcam and microphone

Homework Expectations

Homework is an important part of our curriculum. It reinforces the material from class and helps students build strong, consistent writing habits. Homework is posted in the Classwork tab on Microsoft Teams

Each module includes four lessons. Homework is assigned for Lessons 1 to 3. Lesson 4 is for review and catching up, with no new homework assigned. Assignments are broken into smaller sections to support daily writing practice. We recommend 15 minutes of writing per day rather than completing all work at once.

Expectations for Class Participation

To create a productive learning environment, students are expected to:

• Be on time and ready to participate
• Keep cameras on unless otherwise discussed
• Be respectful to their teacher and classmates
• Come to class with homework completed and supplies ready
