First: Key Information SourcesBaseCamp:
• The first week of school, orientation week . . .
• Time to get our skills in order and minds on the mission -
• A great time to connect with the community and establish our academic, social and family routines.
The PACOL Compass:
• Website dedicated to launching a new school year . . .
• In online school, sometimes things change in off-periods (think of all that technology!) -
• Having a secondary site to ramp-up the year is always a good idea to help people adjust to the changes.
The eAcademy Portal (The Portal):
• Our learning space . . .
• the home base for PACOL students and families –
• Includes eCourses and the Research Center (RC), assessments and grades, school and course Announcements - all the official stuff.
The PACOL Pulse:
• Our version of an e-newsletter to our families . . .
• Good information, interesting articles –
• All written by cool people. Idea: maybe a student-developed version?
