What Might My Learning Environment Look Like?

Your teachers will share information about which virtual platform they will use to share learning activities and communicate with students. This platform will be either Canvas or Google Classroom. Check your teacher’s online classroom daily for announcements and learning activities. Students should also check their e-mails for frequent communications from teachers and the school.
