As we begin ...

Happy 1st Full Week of School :)

I hope all of you are doing well and hearing wonderful things from your children. We are pleased with how quickly they are getting in to a routine and the work they are starting.

Here's a quick note from our Information Specialist, Ms. Jade':

WHAT IS PARENT ACCESS?

Be a Part of Your Child's Education Every Step of the WayFind out what’s going on at your child’s school anytime, anywhere! With PowerSchool’s Parent Access you can read announcements, catch up on your students’ class assignments, checkout grades, attendance and discipline. New this year, Parents can complete their yearly Verification Form!

How Parents start to use Parent Access?
Let your school know you are interested in seeing your child's information online. Once you are properly identified, an access ID and password will be provided. Each child will have a separate access ID. You will need to create an account before using Parent Access. Instructions for using the Parent Access portal will be posted on this website. Your school will be the point of contact for support. Issues that require escalation will be handled by the school and central support.

Need help?
Please contact the Parent Access Representative at your child's school (Information Specialist).

In ELA, we have started talking about genres of literature. It is my goal that students expand their love of reading to genres with which they may have little to no experience. By Friday, 8/11, all students should have a book/novel to read for reading and writing workshop.

We will be meeting with Ms. Laura to schedule the roll-out for Chromebooks for students this week and will get back to you as soon as we have specific information.

Have a great Tuesday and, as always, let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

Thanks,

Ms. Susan
