Passport is an online learning environment designed for students to engage in the content being taught, complete activities and assignments, and use tools to practice and perform inside and outside of the classroom. Students can access resources and complete a variety of assignment types using any type of electronic device with an internet connection.

Flipgrid is now fully embedded in Passport, with all of the functionality, including student replies and moderation of responses. Teachers can create a Flipgrid activity and use that to spark a conversation amongst students, while they practice their interpersonal and presentational speaking skills. |
|
|
Custom activities can be added to Passport to include materials created by the teacher, allow students to upload projects, or incorporate writing activities into lessons. Student responses can be simply an acknowledgement that they received the resource, a short writing in a text box, or the uploading of a file. All work stays in Passport. |

eReader libraries are available with World Language and ELA programs. Some eReaders have audio features and interactive activities to give students immediate feedback. Others include printable activities and vocabulary lists. Students have the ability to highlight, annotate and bookmark pages. |

Bundles are a group of different activities and resources assigned as a single assignment with a single grade and due date. Bundles can include eBook activities, Flipgrid or Performance activities, and Custom activities. |

Due this Week are items still needing completed for the current week.
Upcoming are assigned with due dates in the future beyond the current week.
