You don’t need to know the content to help. Ask your teen to explain a key term, or quiz them with the flashcards. Ten minutes a few times a week makes a real difference.

Questions

Is there an exam at the end of each unit?

Yes. Each unit ends with a unit exam. The practice quizzes on your class page use the same kinds of questions, so try them first.

I missed a class. What do I do?

Open your class page, pick the unit, and go through the booklet for that part. Then check Google Classroom for anything you need to hand in.

Where are my booklets?

On your class page, in the unit tabs. Printed copies are also handed out in class.

What does “On the test” mean?

Those items cover words and ideas you will see on a quiz or unit exam. Start with them, then do the extra practice.

Do I need an account?

No. There is nothing to sign up for, and the games never ask for your name.

How do I reach my teacher?

In class, through Google Classroom, or through the school office.
