This is a website that allows parents & students access
to the Harcourt Math (GoMath) that we use in
the classroom. Be sure to click on Chicago Public Schools 299 in the District drop down and then Walt Disney Magnet School. The majority of the students will log in with the first letter of their first name and their last name-all lowercase & the password is disney-all lowercase.
Example- (for most students but not all students)
username: mmouse

Several students will have usernames that follow a different pattern.
Once you log on, you will be able to click on THINGS TO
DO, MY LIBRARY & MY TEST SCORES. Clicking on "MY TEST SCORES"
will give you your child's Math test score & you will see your
child's answers & what he/she had wrong; you will be able to go
over the test with your child at home. Clicking on "MY LIBRARY"
will give you access to Harcourt Math Resources that we use in school.
Clicking on "THINGS TO DO" will give you assignments that your child can
do at home or assignments for school. Students can log in at home as well.
