How to Access GrapeSEED Online Resources

As a School Admin, you will often wear different hats as you help execute the GrapeSEED program. Some admins are also teachers, so it's important that School Admins understand what materials their teachers are using, and they should be as familiar and comfortable with the materials as the teachers.
