STUDY ISLAND
This the online math program we are using for math homework. Students are
expected to work for 20 minutes each night in their appropriate sections.
** When logging on for the first time, students will need to change their
password. For the first time, it is "password," without the quotes. (We can
access the password list if anyone forgets his/hers.) Everyone's username is
the first initial of their first name, then their last name, "at"
villamontessori. For example, Mary Thompson's username would be:
mthompson@villamontessori. (There's no ".com," as this is the school's
account, not an e-mail address.)

DIGITAL SCHOOL LOCKERS ARE HERE!
Each student's login/user name is the first initial of their
first name, then their last name. For example, Brian Smith's
login would be: bsmith
Everyone's password is the word, "password" without the
quotation marks. Students are encouraged to change their
passwords when they first use the system. (Don't worry -- I'll
know their passwords and can remind them if the students forget.)
