Notes and References

For all teachers or admins who wish to share this:

This site can be shared with anyone and does not strictly have to be used by me, Emily Headley, and within my school. It has links for my school's online apps, but the information provided here is universal for all parents of students.
This site can also easily be shared in person with printable posts, and some of the information provided is summarized quite well in Edutopia's Parents' Guide for 21st-century Learning, which I linked to in the post, "Navigating 21st-Century Education: A Parent's Guide."
