Welcome to the Chesapeake Academy Community Network. This Community Network complements and extends the Chesapeake Academy learning experience for each student. The CA Community Network (CA CN) facilitates 21st century skills development in our students by providing a secure portal for collaborative academic work such as electronic document sharing, multimedia projects, wikispaces, blogs, etc. Students use the community network to share information with teachers and peers and to create individual talent portfolios which follow them throughout their Chesapeake Academy careers.
Parents: In order to get started, you will need to register by completing the form on the right side. When you first login in to CA CN you will be requested to complete your profile.
For each category of information, you may choose to allow that to be public to the CA CN or to be private (not shared with CA CN members). So, you may customize your CA CN profile. You may also choose settings within your profile so that you receive e-mails when certain areas of the network are updated (such as the class homework blogs or CAPPA announcements).
FOR PARENTS of CA STUDENTS: If you are the parent of PreK-4th graders, you may choose to create a profile for your children so that you can manage or monitor their online information within the CA CN. You do
not have to create a profile for your child if you do not wish to do so. Homework blogs and class pages are available to you. If you create a profile for your child, you may choose to allow any categories of information within the profile to be private or public within the CA CN. All fields are defaulted to private. None of the profile information for any CA CN user is public on the internet.
If you are the parent of a 5th-8th grader, we ask that you help them create a profile within the CA CN so that they may participate in collaborative coursework using the tools of the network. As the parent, you "own" their profile, so you can monitor it. You may choose to attach your own e-mail address or your child's e-mail address to his or her profile. You can customize their CA CN profile privacy settings.

Again, none of the profile information for any CA CN user is public on the internet. In addition, the CA CN is not mined by commercial companies for data collection. It is a completely secure portal.
We are thrilled to be able to offer this educational community networking tool! As we continue to build modules within it, we will add new functionality. We are one of the few (if not the only) PreK-8 school using this platform to enhance our program and provide our students with technology skills necessary to excel. At the same time, we are keeping all the constituent members of our community connected! Please let us know if you have any questions about registering or using the network.
