IDEA Public Schools is using Microsoft Teams – a software that is safe, secure, and provides multiple options for learning.
IDEA’s Virtual Classrooms are Internet-based “rooms” where students will receive lessons through video, attend class with the teacher, assignments, take quizzes, or other ways their teachers have decided to support their Distance Learning.
The biggest difference is our students will be coming to class from the safety of their own homes!
Otherwise, we are committing to the same great IDEA experience.
We expect students to stay on-track with their lessons, parents and students to partner on accountability, and teachers to continue providing high-quality instruction.
You can also download the Microsoft Teams app for iOS or Android here:
All IDEA students have a student account already created.
Student ID# @ideastudent.org
(e.g. 10829302@ideastudent.org)
Idea(STUDENT DOB)
(where (STUDENT DOB) is in the MMDDYY format (e.g. 031287))
Please reach out to your teacher or school for immediate assistance!
(This is also the same student ID number your child uses to log into Clever/Dreambox/ST Math)
When your child first logs in, they should be greeted by the classes they have been enrolled in by their teachers. Clicking on the class allows the student to begin interacting with their lessons immediately – but please consult the daily schedule for specifics.
Our technical support team is standing by! Please use the button on this website to submit a ticket for assistance.
Someone will respond to you promptly.
