Working with Technology

Staff will only communicate digitally with students through Board issued email or Board approved applications (e.g. Google Classroom, Edsby, school email, D2L Brightspace).

Getting started with technology doesn't have to be a struggle, and you don't have to work through this alone. Please reach out to the classroom teacher by email if you have any questions about how they will be communicating with your child. Your teacher might direct you to the Board's Helpdesk to assist you with access to applications or hardware questions.

Your child's teacher will choose the digital tools that work best for their classroom. Depending upon age and readiness one or more tools may be used. The more common digital tools are listed below. Please contact the classroom teacher if you have any questions.

Many teachers use Google Classroom to simplify home/school communication. You can use it by going to https://classroom.google.com/, or by downloading the app (iOS, Android) onto your mobile device.

Your child's teacher may communicate directly with your family through email. You may want to check your email Spam filter to make sure that these messages are getting through.
