Happy New Year Questers!

Important Changes

In an effort to streamline communication about student learning, we piloted Otus as a learning management system.  After presenting Otus to the administration team, it was decided that the district would not be pursuing the use of Otus on a larger scale.  It is with this decision in mind that we have decided to transition away from Otus.  Below are some FAQs that will help you get started with our new system.

Where do I start?

The Quest Website Resources page will be your number one stop for all things Team Quest.  Here the link. 

What should my student be working on at home?

Reading 20 minutes a night.  Also, check the "What's Due This Week" document that is linked on the Quest Website Resources page.  Highlighted assignments are considered 'homework' but can be completed at school.  Writing assignments will be turned into Google Classroom or Newsela.

Where are the grades?

Use the JumpRope link on the Quest Website Resources page to access proficiency scores on all scored assignments.  

Where are the POWs?

There is a Google Classroom set up for POWs.  This is linked to the Quest Website Resources page.  If you don't have access as a guardian and would like to have access, please email Melissa at mwilliams@wwsu.org.  Here you will see what your student submitted as well as any feedback they received.  Please note that comments on writing will be shown either through Google Classroom or through Newsela.  I hope this will be easier for students to find.

What is SeeSaw?

This is a tool students use to collect evidence of their learning and reflect along the way.  It will be used as a blog for students to document learning.  We have just started, so there is not much on this site yet.  Here are the direction
