Dear EMS Families,
This week, Margaret Talbot - the Tech Integrationist from EMS - had the pleasure of presenting information about Powerschool to the Engage EMS meeting. She gave a short presentation on logging into Powerschool, adjusting settings to receive email notifications, and how to navigate the Powerschool App on cell phones.
The presentation is linked here (Presentation 10/22/19) and in the list below. Additional information about our digital citizenship curriculum and Powerschool is also available (Family newsletter on 9/13/2019).
Where can I learn more about how to log in to Powerschool?

How can I find student access codes to link my Parent Powerschool account with my child's account?
These codes are held in our student information system. If you have more than one child in the school system, but only one child is appearing, then you will need the other student access codes.
Email Julia Stein at jstein@bsdvt.org OR Call (802) 864-8486 and ask for Julia
What is my password?
If you forgot your password, the guidance office can reset it for you.

Scholastic Book Fair Coming!
Dear Students, Parents and Guardians,
The Scholastic Book Fair will begin in the EMS library the week of November 4th and will be open during the day from 7:45 – 3:45 Monday, Tuesday and Thursday, Wednesday until 2:00 p.m. and Friday from 7:45 to noon. It is a “books only” fair; however, there will be posters and bookmarks for sale.
Please encourage your child to purchase books to read at home (or come yourself) and support the middle school makerspace and library.
Just 20 minutes of independent reading every day will expose your child to approximately 1,800,000 words every year! It is so exciting for so many of them to be able to buy books from the fair.
Thank you,
Carole Renca
