Virtual Kindergarten - Frequently Asked Questions!
Welcome to Kindergarten! We hope this post is helpful in answering some questions you might have on starting kindergarten virtually!
How do I pick up my School Supplies?
-TCE will be having a drive thru pick up today, Friday August 14th from 10-11 or 2-3. You are welcome to drive thru the car loop line and pick up your school supplies and grade level t shirts. This is an optional pickup and we will have more opportunities throughout virtual learning. If you choose to pick up your supplies please keep them all together so that you will have them ready to bring to school when you choose to return face to face. More info on Ms. Martin's principal newsletter
How do I get the Schoology App (or any Apps) on my child's iPad?
-Student iPads do not have an "App Store" app on them! You will use an app called "MANAGER" to search for and download other apps. Look for the Manager App and use it to download Schoology! The manager looks like this:
How do I find my child's classwork and classes in Schoology?
-First download the Schoology app from Manager on your child's CISD iPad.
or use the web version of Schoology by going to http://schoology.coppellisd.com
-Using the web version of Schoology is usually a little more "user-friendly," but we want you to have access to both versions!
-You will follow your child's schedule of classes (coming soon to an e.mail near you!) and work through the courses in that order each day!
How do I log into Schoology?
-To log into Schoology you will enter your CHILD's username and password.
-The username is a series of 3 letters and 4 numbers that will look something like this:
lwt1920 (example only) the password for all kindergarten students is 12345678.
-Once you log in you will choose "Courses" from the drop down menu to see the classes your child is enrolled in!
What time will my child be on "LIVE" Zoom each day?
- For the FIRST week of school only your child will get on Zoom at these times:
7:50, 9:30, and 1:20.
-The links to the Zooms will be found in the "HOMEROOM HUB" folder in Schoology.
-The HOMEROOM HUB folder will be found inside a course, see below
K1 - Torti = Reading and Writing Course - Homeroom Hub Folder
K2 - Brehm = Science Course - Homeroom Hub Folder
K3 - Rice = Math Course - Homeroom Hub Folder
*They will also have a chance to Zoom with their Specials Teachers. They will communicate this to you!
What will take place on the Zoom Meetings?
-During the first week of school our Zoom meetings will be mostly about getting to know one another and getting to know all the kindergarten teachers. We will spend time building classroom community, playing games, and learning all about our school! After the first week we will be doing more curriculum connections and lessons during the live Zooms.
What if I can't get on the Zoom during that time?
-All of the Zoom Meetings will be recorded and the videos will be available for you to watch in Schoology. All the first week of School Zoom Videos will be found in the Homeroom Hub Folders.
-If you can't get on then don't worry, just watch the video later!
