Distance Learning: Week 5
As we continue with our distance learning into Week 5, we have compiled the following resources for our elementary teachers.
Survey to help us support what you, the LCSC Teacher, need during this remote learning and for future e Learning lesson planning.
Click here to participate in this voluntary survey to provide feedback to the trainers on how we can further assist our teachers.
Attendance Update
**When students click on the school attendance button, that logs attendance for the day for administration and not on the teacher's page. It does not update their access on the people tab. This only updates when the students click on the teacher's course. To make sure that your students are completing assignments, verify that they are submitting items as directed by you. If you are not getting submissions or seeing activity on DreamBox or Pearson, that is when you should contact parents, not because of the activity on the people tab.
