We are the PACK!
Smiley Thoughts
PACK Guardians and Students,
PACK,
Unfortunately, due to projected bad weather, we are postponing the Huskies and Hotrods Car Show to NEXT week. People with $100k vehicles don't like to get them out in the rain! There are a lot of things going on in the next few weeks so please make sure you scroll to the end of this newsletter. Here are some reminders:
Absences and Makeup work - I have been asked by teachers to remind students and guardians that when our Husky is absent, they need to see the teacher about what they missed and what they need to make up. Second, we have some unit assessments coming up at the very end of this semester and need all students here. Please refrain from having your student miss days during that last week. We have some fun activities planned for Friday!
-------------------------------------------------------------REPEATS--------------------------------------------------------------------
Leaving Early - If you are picking your child up early from school please do so by 3:15 p.m. We do not allow students to be checked out after 3:15 p.m. since this could hamper our dismissal procedures and ability to retrieve multiple students before the bell. The front office is closed between 3:15 and 3:45 p.m.
Progress Reports - Just a reminder that parents can check their child's progress reports online. Grades were due for progress reports Friday, November 22nd and will be posted when we come back from the break.
Progress Report - There is a NEW tab in the online parent portal (and student portal) labeled "progress report." This is ran every three weeks so you will have two of these each 9 week grading period. This is what we use to determine VIP status and is a snapshot of your student's progress at that particular date.
Report Card - There is still the "report card" tab on the parent portal which displays the students CURRENT average for the current reporting period. We have official report card grades every 9 weeks. You can click their average in the report card tab to see their individual grades on assignments.
I highly recommend visiting the "notifications" tab on your parent portal account to notify you of your students grades based upon your family standards. Thank you for assisting us in your child's education!
