The Jim Plain Insider

We aspire to be a safe and loving community that empowers students to be lifelong learners who positively contribute to the world.

Report cards from the third nine weeks are now available in Home Access Center. They can be confusing to read in the digital format, so to see a better view of the report card follow these steps:

1. Log into Home Access Center

2. Click on the 'A+' icon for grades

3. Click on the 'print' button

Not all standards are assessed each nine weeks, so if you see a blank please do not worry! Some skills take longer for students to master too. If you have questions about your child(s) progress, please do not hesitate to reach out to your child's teacher.

Next week is the last week to collect plastic bags for our HEB challenge. Thanks to a helpful tip from a parent, we'll have the bin outside at car rider all next week. Please bring your plastic bags to the foyer to drop off, send them in with your child, or hand them to us during car rider drop off and pick up. Thank you for helping support our school and recycling your plastic bags!

Finally, tomorrow is the LISD Art Show. You'll not only see the amazing creations our students have made with Mr. Page, but also the incredible talent of other artists in our school district. It's tomorrow from 10-1 at Vandegrift High School. Hope to see you there!

Have a great weekend,

❤️ Mrs. Ulatoski
