Technology Resources
All of our students will be 1:1 on iPads for the 2016-2017 school year. Make sure that you have turned in your iCoverage paperwork and 15.00 to the school. This can be paid online. This covers damage that might occur at home or at school. One thing it does NOT cover is water damage, so please remind students about their water bottles being in their backpacks with their devices!
Ipads will only come home during MP 1 for assigned homework tasks, and then beginning in MP2 the devices will be coming home on a more regularly scheduled basis.

Follett E-books
You can access Follett ebooks by logging on to our Follett Destiny home page. This is located at http://wcpsmd.follettdestiny.com
Your student uses their 5 and 3 combo and their ID (no wcps at the beginning is needed). The ebook library is located at the top and is called the Follett Shelf.
The Follett app in the iTunes store is called Follett Brytewave. The books from the elibrary can be downloaded to your smart devices and taken with you wherever you want to go. They simply return themselves when 2 weeks of time have passed! Read ANYWHERE!!
PortaPortal
These are some of the great sites that we use in our classrooms and that you can use at home! The first link will take you to the portal page, and we have one for media and one for math. The guest access log ins have been sent home, if you have misplaced them, the media site is wcps and the math site is rwemath.

Typing Agent
http://wcps.typingagent.com is our new typing program. Students log in using their 5 and 3 combination with and password is wcps and lunch number combo, so it would be wcps123456 (whatever their lunch number / student ID would be) Students in grades 3-5 have tried this site at school, and grade 2 is working on their log ins and will soon be trying it out. Encourage your student to use the agent as much as they can.
