News from the Nest

Dear Hornet Families,

We have officially wrapped up the first quarter of the school year. I want to take a moment to reflect on all the wonderful achievements we’ve seen in our classrooms. It’s been an incredible start to the year, filled with learning, growth, and joy. I am truly proud of our students and the hard work they have put in!

As Fall Break has started, I hope you all take this time to relax and enjoy some quality moments with family and friends. Whether you’re traveling, enjoying local activities, or simply unwinding at home, make the most of this well-deserved break!

Thank you for your continued support and partnership. I look forward to seeing everyone back in school, recharged and ready for another exciting quarter on October 8th.

Wishing you all a wonderful fall break!

Warm regards,

Mrs. Jerde

Please remember to update and fill out the Annual Updates for your student. These are found in the Annual emergency and Health Update and follow the these steps:

Please complete the Orientation in Buzz to learn how to navigate our technology. All students must complete this orientation by watching the videos and completing the assessments before any students starts school.

To log into Buzz, please go to:

Username: s+ID#@gse.cusd80.com (s123456@gse.cusd80.com)

Password: s+ID# + ! (s123456!)

All students will be forced to change their Google password to a new, secure password (at least 8 characters, upper and lower case, number, symbols, etc...) as soon as they log in with this generic password. Until they do so, they will not be able to log into technology.

*Once logged into your district email account you will then click on the 9 dots in upper right corner and open the google apps. Scroll down until you see the app that says Buzz COA or your home school site.

If you are already logged into a Google email account, you must logout of that account before establishing this new account.

*Please note: Student Google accounts (GSE) are for educational purposes only and students should not be saving personal/inappropriate content on this account.

It's that time of the year again. A friendly reminder that Attendance is due before 10pm Sunday nights. If you haven't completed it by then, you will receive an automated email with a list of the dates that attendance is missing. This includes weekends. You can enter zero minutes for any day (including weekends and holidays) that you did not do school work. This will prevent the unwanted reminder email.

The expectation that was in your Student Success Contract is an average of 5 hours/weekday for Kindergarten - 3rd grade students, and and average of 6 hours/weekday for 4th-6th grade students.

You aren't able to enter future dates, but you DO have the ability to enter attendance as far as two weeks in the past. If you need to make a correction to a date that you already submitted (green on the attendance calendar), please email our registrar, Christine Rose. rose.christine@cusd80.com

Detailed instructions are on our Elementary Connect website, under Tutorials.
