Parents & Family Resources

1. Set aside a time each week to check your student’s grades and to check for missing assignments that can still be completed, or assessments that can be reworked. If parents don’t have Power School or Echo access, they can contact the school's secretary. Students who have devices at home can also pull up their online gradebook to share with parents.
2. Students who have a device at home can access extra practice through the Clever Portal. Students know their log in and know which programs are extra practice.
3. Set aside time each day to check in with your student about the day’s assignments and activities completed at school. Students with devices at home can show completion of assignments in Google Classroom or Echo.
4. Check in every so often with your student’s teachers to get feedback on your student’s progress. Access our staff directory for the teacher's email address.
5. Encourage reading at home! Students who read 20 minutes everyday are exposed to upwards of 1.8 million words per year. Each student has access to books from school and classroom libraries.
6. If your student’s school uses Class Dojo, check it frequently to monitor student behavior and activities that are occurring in the classroom.  
7. Your school may have a PTO. Reach out to your student’s teacher or principal to find out how you can be involved!
8. Want to see a particular type of after school club or program? Don’t hesitate to talk to your building principal and share your ideas.  
9. Stay current with your school's social media platforms.  
10. Attend after school events and family nights to help build a greater school community.

To promote school safety and provide a healthy and respectful educational environment, all students shall adhere to our dress code. The objective is to provide an appropriate, safe and respectful educational environment while allowing students to dress comfortably, within limits, to facilitate learning.

The District expects students to maintain the type of appearance that is not distracting to students, teachers or the educational process of the schools. The final determination of a student’s adherence to the dress code will be made by the school administration.

Parents/guardians share equal responsibility with their child for the student’s adherence to the dress code policy.
