Welcome to Helena Middle School, 6th graders! I am so happy to have you in my math class this year. I am full of excitement as we start this new school year by building our thinking classroom. Math will look and feel a lot different. This page will be your guide to finding everything you need to proceed through this course.

I will use the following online locations to make information, resources, and assignments available to students and families.

1. Mrs. Bivens’ Webpage – please take a few minutes to explore this page and see what is available here.
2. Clever – Clever is a launch point for students to access Microsoft Office 365 (student Outlook email, Teams, Word, etc), curriculum resources, PowerSchool, and so much more! Please take time to explore Clever and see what is available there.
3.  Microsoft Teams– posted here will be the weekly assignment schedule any instructional videos, resources, and class announcements. Students should use Teams Chat to ask questions or seek assistance.
4. Core Focus on Math – This is our online math textbook. Student log in: user name – helena, password – math.
