Dear Hornet Families,

As we embrace the month of November, I want to take a moment to express my gratitude for our wonderful school community. This month reminds us to reflect on the things we are thankful for, and I am especially grateful for the hard work and dedication of our students, staff, and families.

I want to thank all the families that were able to attend the October Fall Craft night. It is always so wonderful to see everyone in person. Our next family night will be on December 3rd. More information on that event will be coming soon.

I encourage you to continue engaging with your children about their learning experiences. Ask them about their day, discuss their favorite subjects, and inspire them to keep exploring new ideas. Please encourage your child/ren to work on their MindPlay math daily. This program is specifically tailored to your child's needs and will help them grow in math.

Thank you for your ongoing support. Together, we are making a difference in our students' lives. Wishing you all a wonderful month filled with joy and gratitude!

Warm regards,

Mrs. Jerde

Chandler Online Academy Elementary and staff want to welcome you to the Hornet Family ~

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.

If you need assistance during the holidays, please use the following link to access the Chandler Care Center providing assistance to families in need during the holidays - https://www.cusd80.com/site/default.aspx?PageType=3&DomainID=61&ModuleInstanceID=164781&ViewID=6446EE88-D30C-497E-9316-3F8874B3E108&RenderLoc=0&FlexDataID=269851&PageID=41359
