Our MAPS Campus offers a continuum of leading edge learning where students advance seamlessly through an educational journey of their own design. At the leading edge of connected learning, MAPS provides the advantage of Power Learning, one-to-one technology program, to provide every student with the tools necessary to connect with their world and create their own pathway for success.

 

Seesaw at MAPS

Seesaw captures student learning in all forms, making it a powerful window into what’s happening in your student’s classroom. Go beyond the gradebook to see your student’s portfolio of projects and activities.

Seesaw is a service that we use K-6 at MAPS and is a simple way for teachers and students to record and share what's happening in the classroom. Seesaw gives students a place to document their learning, be creative and learn how to use technology. Each student gets their own journal and will add things to it, like photos, videos, drawings, or notes. When there are new Seesaw posts, families can be notified via app notification, email or SMS. Parents are only notified about their own child’s work, and all data is safe and secure.

Contact your student's classroom teacher to get more information about how you can get connected via Seesaw.

 

Canvas at MAPS

The Canvas Learning Management Platform allows schools to build the digital learning environment that meets the unique challenges faced by their institution. Canvas simplifies teaching, elevates learning, and eliminates the headaches of supporting and growing traditional learning technologies.

 

PikMyKid at KENNEDY

For Kennedy Elementary students in grades 3-5, PikMyKid has been introduced to help us manage a safe and efficient dismissal process, while also providing real-time communication with families.
