Hi Everyone,
eBackpack is up and running! You should be able to see your fall classes and submit assignments. The url for eBackpack is thorntonacademy.ebackpack.com. Your username is the same as your TA email (before the @thorntonacademy) and the password is also the same as your email account. And remember, there will be an assessment on the first day of class based on your summer work. It will focus most specifically on the terms/concepts from Assignment #2 (Period 1 Key Concepts), and the big ideas from Assignment #4 (1491 Article). Enjoy the last few weeks of vacation! Get those brains warmed up. We hit the ground running! And please encourage your classmates to check the course website frequently for important info and updates. Mr. Parise Hi Everyone,
I am aware that your classes for the fall have not yet been added to eBackpack. I am communicating with the tech office to address this issue, and hope to have a solution by the end of the week. Please check back here by the end of the day Friday for an update. If I am going to need you to submit your assignments in a different way, Friday's post will have those instructions. Feel free to email me with any individual questions. See you all soon! Thanks, Mr. Parise |
