    My Backpack

    This app has been added for all students on Webdesk for easy access to their course resources. It is a lightweight alternative to carrying textbooks around all day! And it's helpful to have the necessary resources in one location. The backpack can be accessed at school or at home by logging in to Webdesk and then selecting the backpack icon.

    Students have all instructional/textbook-related materials automatically assigned to their digital backpack app. Some apps/online textbooks are assigned to the backpack via TEAMS and those cannot be edited.  A student's digital backpack might look something like this:
