VPort Intervention Information { Tina Matthews}: It is time to roster Voyager Passport and Language! 4E Students in VPort. I have attached a copy of the data collection template for Language! And Voyager Passport. If you are accustomed to rostering your own students and setting up teachers/classes, then you do not need to return this template to me. To avoid confusion, please send me an email letting me know your school will do their own. Please roster your students by Friday, September 18th. If you want Sopris to do this for your school, please complete the template and return it to me by the end of the day on Wednesday, September 16th [email protected]. This was sent to Lead Interventionists last Tuesday.

This dashboard offers many courses tailored to teachers’ specific needs. Please remind them of this option as they move into using digital content with their students.

- BAW Remote Learning Guidance: Click HERE for guidance on how to adapt BAW to hybrid learning.
- Sharing Presentations Through the EDM Online Lesson Planner: Many teachers asked if they could share presentations that were created through the EDM Online Lesson Planner. Here is the answer we received from McGraw Hill:
- Thank you for contacting McGraw Hill Technical Support. We appreciate you taking the time to bring this to our attention. We apologize for the delay in getting back to you about sharing presentations with other teachers for Everyday Math. With this program there currently isn’t a way to share the presentation. To share a presentation you would need to share the class with the teacher, however, this program does not have that option.
- Freckle Support Resources: As you begin this school year using Freckle, here are our most popular support resources to have at your fingertips.
