Will the ClassMates replace printed textbooks & classroom materials?

While we won't be going totally paperless, we do anticipate that the ClassMates program will allow us to reduce the number of printed classroom materials and books students will need, significantly reducing student backpack load over time.

A-C Central C.U.S.D. #262 teachers are actively seeking ways to leverage the ClassMates platform to reduce the number of printed materials students need, to increase classroom and homework efficiency, reduce the "lug" burden of burgeoning student backpacks, and conserve paper. For example, Middle School Math textbooks will be available electronically, as well as High School Chemistry. Middle School Science labs are completed digitally and High School History assignments are submitted via the ClassMates. Other departments are making similar  leverage of the available electronic materials as appropriate.
