Techology Password Needed!

TECHNOLOGY PASSWORDS
I'm pleased to share that all fourth graders across the district will have access to shared iPads this school year.   The iPads will be used in school only.   Please check your child's homework folder this evening for a parent letter regarding iPads.

The first step in getting the use of the iPads  up and running is to have your child and you create a secure password. Your child had a lesson in class about regarding creating a secure password.  We ask that you please work with your child to create a password. There are some tips on DO's and DON'T's included with the parent letter.

You are also asked to go into your child's Parent Portal in Powerschool and enter this password.  Please do this as well as making sure your child's secure password is sent back to school by THIS Friday, October 16th.

MEDIA
Media is tomorrow - Thursday, Oct. 15th.  Please make sure your child returns at least one of their media books!

VOCABULARY
As you may have noticed, we have begun a new routine regarding vocabulary.  The students are being introduced to 5 vocabulary words every other week.  (One week will be spelling, the other week will be vocabulary.)  In school we are practicing various activities to help the students solidify an understanding of these words.  As this is new to us, we are working through it with the students.  As we become more familiar with the routine, both in school and at home, we will work on the assessment pieces of these words. 

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to get in touch.  Thank you for your continued support.
