Berkley Community School

​

Welcome Back!

 

I hope this finds everyone well and looking forward to a

super school year! If you are new to our school or have not

seen this website before, please take a minute to look around

as our students will be using it throughout the school year both in school and at home. There are a lot of fun and engaging activities to be found that support all of the learning going on here at Berkley Community School.

 

This year, our school will continue to use Clever as an easy way for students to access all the learning applications they use at school in a single location.

The Clever Portal can be found at Clever.com/in/bcseagle There is also a link at the bottom of this page. All student learning applications are accessible through Clever, including Google Classroom. We expect Clever to be up and running by the 2nd week of school.

All students in grades 2-4 use Google Classroom. Students are given instruction and refreshers in both their classrooms and computer class as to how to navigate the app. Many assignments and important links are kept in Google Classroom and students quickly learn to access and navigate the app.

All students at Berkley Community School will use Keyboarding Without Tears™ to teach touch typing. Students will also continue to learn block coding through Code.org. Code.org should only be used at school, but there are other options to use coding both through Clever and under “Computer & Technology Websites” above. Lastly, digital literacy, including internet safety and netiquette are also taught throughout the year to all grade levels using the CommonSense Education and Be Internet Awesome curriculums. 

 

Check-in here each month to see what is going on in the Computer Lab.

If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to reach out at tdimascio@berkleypublicschools.org. 

Looking forward to a wonderful school year!
