Every student had a note placed in their folder showing their username and password.  The easiest way is to goggle: student map login. Click on Students Log in Here. Enter the username and password and you are ready to go. I will be adding in more assignments on Friday so your child can practice as much as possible.  I showed all students today how to get in and we practiced one assignment together.
