Welcome to Mrs. B. Escalante's Web Page for United States History 8. I look forward to having a successful,enriching, and educational year with my students.The district has mandated that we will be using Schoology as the new grade platform. This will be connected to google drive as well. Students can get assignments and post assignments to their classes.
I will be using it slowly at first as this is new to me as well. I will be able to inform you at a later date how to access your students grades. To access grades students will need to have computers and internet at home as well as at school.Finally, you may sign-up here for notification of homework assignments to be sent to your phone. It will notify you about homework and classwork that will be coming due. Each member of your family may sign up to get these notifications. Each person will have their own link once they subscribe to each class they wish to be notified about homework. Remember to sign up in the individual class for the homework notification, not just on my home page.Please feel free to contact me through any of the email links if you have a question or concern about your student.Sincerely,B. Escalante
