I am the contact for Study Island at Athens, if you or students have questions!
• Students may also find the WCPSS Success Series at http://www.wcpss.net/students/homework-help/ helpful for the supported subjects, and students may also find the videos at Khan Academy useful (http://www.khanacademy.org/) especially for Math and Science subjects.
