We have finished our first week of school!  I hope you and your student are getting in a routine with the school schedule and home life.  It is very important that students get enough sleep and eat a good breakfast.  This helps them focus better during the school day.  After school it is important that students have a regular time and place to complete homework.  This can include reviewing notes for the day and completing assignments and studying for tests and quizzes.

Many teachers are using Remind to send notices about assignments.  Please sign up if you want that service.  Most teachers are posting daily news and assignments in their Google Classrooms.  Ask your student to show you how to access them.  You can see what they see.

I would also encourage you to check your child's grades often.  I always try to do it on Friday evening.  Weekend privileges for my son then depend on what I find when I check grades.  There is a link on the district website for Infinite Campus.  If you have trouble logging in, ask your child to help you, or fill out a help desk ticket.

During E/I this week, we reviewed the highlights of the student handbook.  Students had to sign a paper indicating that they understand the handbook.  It is also available online for you to review if you have questions.

Next week will be a lot of pre-assessment work in most classes.  Be patient.  This is a required part of our school process - collecting beginning of the year data.

If you have questions about a class, always ask your child first.  Then ask the teacher.  I am available to help in any way that I can.

Have a wonderful weekend!
