Greetings Students and Parents, 
 
We will use It's Learning-'s VERGE Learning Management System for the 2020-2021 academic year to access instructional digital resources, assignments, discussion questions, and other Virtual Learning Activities (VLAs). Please login to your VERGE account using your DeKalb County School District issued student username and password. 
 
We will also use Clever's LaunchPad to access instructional digital tools for productivity, assessment, and research for all content areas! Click Login with Active Directory, then using your DeKalb County School District issued student username and password.  Students have their own Microsoft email accounts and can access it through LaunchPad's portal as well.

We will Microsoft Teams to access our synchronous learning time during the first 15 minutes of your scheduled class time. Refer to the class schedule below to see when your teacher is scheduled to join in my class. You can access Microsoft Teams from their main site or from LaunchPad
