• Learning Coaches will set-up STAR360's Home Connect tool prior to the student(s) taking the tests (see link on bottom of S'more)
• Review communication sent to students and Learning Coaches - Principal newsletters, website communication, communication from Homeroom teachers and by ELA/Math teachers.
• Microphone and camera are recommended, but not required
