Successnetplus: This program has the class e-textbook. It is also the program that students will type their papers in.
Note: Everything is to be done in the classroom. The only time there is homework is if they don't complete it in the class time allowed. If you do not have technology at your home, students can come in before school during tutoring (7:50 a.m.).
