Follow your Student(s) on Our LMS
At Beacon schools we use a learning management system(LMS) to house our daily lessons and curriculum. To better support parents in monitoring their student’s performance we created this guide to help you get onboard with our LMS. Follow the guide below to get started. The guide is split into three steps: signing up for access to the lms, viewing your students’ grade and finally viewing the course content of the courses your student is enrolled in.
Grant and Kepner Beacon Teachers use several online tools to engage students and personalize the learning for our students. On our District’s Academic Technology Menu (ATM) (Lightspeed Digital Insight Platform) – atm.dpsk12.org is a list of online tools that one or more of your student’s teacher(s) would like to utilize as an online learning tool. In accordance with the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA)
Sign up requests are processed during the day on Tuesdays
