St. Paul Academy and Summit School recently made its latest advance in the quest toward being paperless by offering an alternative to assignment sheets, a former staple in SPA curriculum. Students this year are using the new Veracross platform, which formats assignments into an electronic calendar.
This is a good move. Moving away from paper and onto the internet is smart. Paper gets lost easily and wastes natural resources.
The only problem with the platform is that assignments show up shortly before they are assigned, sometimes not appearing at all.
If teachers could put assignments in further ahead of time, it would help busy students to plan ahead.
