Hi Mrs Lang
With the main task for literacy today! Is there a class code to be inputed under the student section for the Epic reading site? Or do we need to make an account?
Hi Mr Keating,
You should just be able to click on the ‘Epic’ picture and it will take you to the main class page with everyones name on it. If you have any problems with this you can google ‘www.getepic.com/students’ then sign in with the class code ‘htv7372’. Then select Zeke’s name and click on his mail sign at the top right corner. This will show you the books he has to read. I have assigned a new book for him for tomorrow too. Hope this helps.
