Thinkcentral Updates:

In order for students to have access to the Go Math book in Thinkcentral, you will need to assign them the book. Here are the steps to take:

Login through Classlink and select the Thinkcentral tile

Select classes and select your math class

Click on the resources you want the students to see

Make sure you click save

 

If you get a new student they should show in your class in Thinkcentral once they are uploaded in Focus. Sometimes it may take 24 hours because the upload is done once per day.

 

Our pacing guides are now being called "Curriculum Guides". The Curriculum Guides encompasses the adopted curriculum pacing, distance learning modules, and the missed standards from the previous years. All curriculum guides for the 2020-2021 school year are available on the Sharepoint Site. Elementary Math Sharepoint Site
