LOG IN

If you are still struggling with logging in. CLICK HERE first. Type your students email. If you don’t know their email, it is found in Skyward. From there, log into MyHarmonyPortal.

GOOGLE

• When working on a Google Doc, make a copy of it first. Make sure the student’s name is in the title. To make a copy, click on File in the top left hand corner. Then click Make a Copy. Once you do that, it will allow you to rename the doc. Afterwards, the student will have his/her own copy of the doc to work on. Then share it with your teacher.

• Using Google Chrome will help do assignments efficiently.
• If you were logged on to your own personal account you will have to switch between yours and your students email address so that they can access all Google classroom materials.

ORGANIZATION

• Please read everything carefully and follow ALL directions on assignments to insure that you have completed them correctly.
• Make sure your child isn’t doing old assignments (unless their teacher needs them to)! We know some kids are sharing technology and we don’t want to waste anyone’s time. Please check in with the teacher or check out their lesson plan/weekly schedule.
• With that in mind, now’s a great time to teach them about checklists. They can write their assignments for the week (or you can if they are little) and check them off when complete. Wanna take it to the next level, you can ask them to have you SIGN it off when each is done or when they are ALL done.

MATH

• Use khanacademy.org, it will be your best friend! It has videos over Math concepts AND it has practice!

COMMUNICATION

• Checking ClassTag and/ or Dojo will help you communicate with your teachers.
• Some teachers have a collective assignment calendars to help the parents know what to do and when the assignments are going live.
• Please stay in constant contact with teachers and go to as many zoom meetings as possible. We are here to help!
