Greetings, Breed Families!

Welcome to our new school year! As you may already know, the Lynn Public Schools will begin the 20-21 school year remotely.  Remote learning is when students engage in their classes and complete assignments from a remote location, not from inside the school. Although we will be learning remotely, the attendance policy has not changed; it is imperative that students attend all classes in order to receive full course credit and be promoted to the next grade. 

This school year will look very different as we move into teaching and learning. We have adopted a Learning Management System (LMS) for Lynn Public Schools, called "Schoology". "Schoology"is an online application where all learning tools are stored. Parents, teachers, and students will all be able to use this one system to communicate, hold conferences, complete assignments, and receive feedback. "Schoology" is accessible to students and families beyond school hours. "Schoology" can be accessed through a desktop, laptop, or through the web browser on an iPad or tablet.

To log into "Schoology"

Students will access "Schoology" by logging onto:
https://lynnschools.schoology.com

Username: student’s email address:
stu------@lynnschools.org (6 digit ID# follows stu)

If you do not know your child’s id#, please contact your building principal. Beginning on September 16th, student courses will be loaded on their "Schoology" pages and they will have access to school updates. More information will follow, including videos detailing how to log in. 

Students in grades 3-12 should have received their district-issued loaner laptops at this time.  If you have not had this opportunity, please contact your building principal and they will provide dates, times, and locations for pickup. Devices have been ordered for students in grades K-2—we will notify families when those arrive.  Please continue to check messages from us and follow us on Twitter @breedmiddle for updates.

In order to prepare your child for remote learning, we have designated 4 days of online orientation with your child’s teacher as well as 1 day for material/supply pickup at the school.
