A Note From the STEAM Studio-
Please note that the STEAM teachers have always used Google Classroom as a learning tool in the STEAM studio. All assignments that are posted while we are doing face to face learning will always be completed in class and should not be worked on at home. I tend to post assignments ahead of time to work out any issues and students can ignore the email that a new assignment has been posted. We use Google Classroom differently than the classroom teachers and it was causing a bit of confusion. Please reach out to Mrs. Totten (atotten@hpseagles.net) if you have any questions!
