LEARNING MANAGEMENT SYSTEM & COMMUNICATION WITH TEACHERS
Google Classroom is an innovative learning management system for creating, hosting, and editing online learning resources. It is a secure, worry-free platform that EA has adopted as a mechanism for online learning and to facilitate communication between teachers and students.
Teachers will communicate with families via the MyEA Portal and email. Please make sure to check your account weekly for information about what is going on in their classroom.
The Parent Portal through MyEA allows authorized parents and guardians to log in to their accounts and review all teachers’ communication. This may include access to Zoom links, schedules, Newsletters, Announcements, and/or highlights. We encourage parents to engage with their young learners and maintain awareness of their upcoming work. For parents to access the Parent Portal they need to log in to My EA Platform.
If you have any questions, your first point of contact should be your child’s teacher. If you need help after school hours, please know that your child’s teacher will contact you the next school day.
