New Look

How do you like the new look of our class blog? I have added Student Links and Parent Links to the right side of the blog. The pages that were at the top of the blog are now on the right side.

Do you know of any fun websites that can be added? Leave a comment and share!

Have you logged in???

Thank you to those parents who have logged into Jupiter to set up their account. I have about 7 more parents that need to log in. I am really trying to reach my goal of 100% participation. I know I keep saying it but this really is a great tool to utilize! I don't have school age children yet so at our team leader meeting we asked one of our parents to log in. It was neat to be able to see what it looks like when you create an account.


Once you log in and create your own password, you can click on the tab on the left that says settings. On the setting tab you are able to check boxes for if you want to be notified via email or text messages for the following: missing assignments, if they drop below a certain grade, if they are tardy to school, or absent! You as the parent are kept updated as frequently as you like. You can set your notification to let you know on a specific day of the week. I'll say it again that I think this tool is wonderful and I would definitely use it! If you are unsure how to work it I will meet with you after or before school and sit down with you and set it up with you. Please let me know and I would LOVE to help you get started with using Jupiter.

ATTENDANCE

Today we celebrated with Root Beer Floats for spelling the word ATTENDANCE. Thank you for making sure your child is at school on time and at school daily. Every day we have everyone in class with get to put up a letter. We can't wait to see how long it takes us to spell ATTENDANCE again.

Progress Reports

Progress Report Cards went home this past Friday. Please make sure you discuss your child's grades with them. You can even log into www.jupitergrades.com to check specific information about your child's grades. If they received a low grade in a subject you can look at all the assignments that were entered for that subject and see how they did on each assignment. I talked with the kids as well letting them know they are responsible for their grades. If they want to receive an award at the awards assembly they need to see what they need to work on to achieve their goal.

If you have misplaced the letter explaining how to enter Jupiter Grades, please contact me and I will let you know what you need to do to log in. Please make sure that you sign your child's progress report card and have them bring it back to school so I can see that you have seen their report card. I will send it back with them so you can have it for your records.

Thanks,

It's SEPTEMBER!!!

Wow! It's September and we have made it through one month of school! We have been working hard this past month and will be continuing to do so this month. I have noticed that only a few of you have logged into Jupiter to check your child's grades. PLEASE log in and utilize this program. It's a great tool for you to be informed of your child's progress. I do input grades often so it's not only at the end of the quarter.

As you know, Spirit Night at Chick-fil-a is next week! I'd love for our class to earn a chicken nugget party! Please come on Wednesday, September 7th from 5:30-7:30pm. You can even go through the drive thru! Don't forget to mention Mrs. Ashbaugh when you order.

Another BIG thanks to all parents who are helping me out with grading and making copies for me. I really do appreciate your help!!!
