Christmas Recess Homework

All students must complete 2 hours of Success Maker per subject over the Christmas break. All usernames and passwords were given on Monday, December 16th. Since then, all issues with the program have been resolved and students have worked on Success Maker during the week independently without any hiccups. Students were told to keep the index card with their login info in their homework folders and should use the exact web address on them to logon; going onto Google and typing in Success Maker will not prompt you to the correct website - hence will not allow students to log on.
