Summary of Resources

I'm quite impressed with all the resources available for free from so many sources, and also those provided by our district, Richardson ISD!  But it can be a little overwhelming to parents, so I'm making this list to help me (& potentially others) as a place for all links in one spot (and hopefully encourage me to close some of the tabs of my browser)!😉
