Parents
Hello! I know your child has come home talking about many websites that we use and that are useful to them in class. I hope that the links on this page will be helpful to you, as well as them, so you can help with your child's success. Please let me know if you find any of these links broken or with questionable materials--websites change often without my control, so I would appreciate any information that you might have about changes.
