Parent Educational Resources

Question and Answer – Updated 8/4/20

Educational Resources Link – This includes many free applications and subscriptions that parents can sign up for in order to keep their children learning during the school closure. Many of these resources are used by our teachers daily, and some of them typically have a cost associated with them but the vendors have waived their fee while schools are closed nationwide.
