Local Artist Elizabeth Eero Iving will be joining us on Thusday, October 2, 2014 from 9:30 am to 11 for a special presentation and sketching lesson with the students. If you would like to see some of her beautiful artwork, you may visit her web site at: www.elizabetheeroirving.com
The field trip to Lathrop High School was great. The students said they enjoyed getting some fresh air and new experiences around town. It was a great little break from our daily routine and a wonderful cross-cultural experience.
Pillow making was a HUGE SUCCESS due to the hard work and dedication from our many parent volunteers and your support. Thanks so much for sending in the materials with your child. We had 6 parents and 5 sewing machines going in the commons and completed close to 50 pillows in just over an hour on Friday! SO THANK YOU AGAIN for all your help, hard work, time, and resources parents. Without you, none of this would have been possible!
I have had several folks contact me for information about how to access EnVision Math and PowerSchool. The directions are as follows:
1. Go to the web site: www.k12northstar.org
2. In the upper right hand corner, you will see a login button. Click the link and enter in your child's s-number and password (call me or email me for their information, but your child should know it, we have used it several times in class and lessons).
3. After you have logged in successfully, the next page will have a link on the left side of the screen that says, "Power School Login." Click the link and enter in your child's s-number and password again.
4. This will take you to their grades and assignments section. You may browse and click the grades to see what the breakdown of assignments are.
5. For EnVision Math materials and the textbook, on the main grades page, you may scroll down to the bottom left of the page and see a tab called Pearson. Click the link and follow the buttons for Pearson Realize. This will take you to the online version of the math materials. Browse the site and contact me for additional help or details when needed.
These are all VERY helpful tools to monitor, learn with, and help your child to succeed. I hope you have found my directions easy to follow! Please let me know otherwise and I can help.
