Avoid Being Scammed
Avoiding scams means staying vigilant and informed. Always verify the authenticity of requests for personal information especially those made via phone calls, emails or text messages. Scammers often impersonate trusted entities like banks or government agencies to earn your trust. Look for red flags such as requests for immediate payment, threats of legal action or offers that seem too good to be true. Research unfamiliar companies or individuals before providing any information and never click on any suspicious links or open any attachments. Practicing good cybersecurity habits can also protect you from scams. Use strong, unique passwords for everyone of your accounts. Keep your devices and software updated. Be cautious on social media and report any suspicious activity.

Upcoming State and District Required Assessments:
In our spring semester we will be administering annual state and district required assessments. Please make note of the dates for the assessments your child will be taking and, whenever possible, please avoid absences during the testing periods. Please note that, on testing days, if students arrive late after testing has begun, they will not be able to join their class until testing has completed for the day. Having students on time and present on testing days helps us gather valuable data while minimizing interruptions to daily instruction. Please help us meet that goal!
Typically, assessments begin in the morning and conclude each day prior to lunch.

Winter Weather Dressing
With the start of wintery and wet weather, please send your student(s) to school dressed warmly (winter coats, hats, gloves and boots ) and with a change of clothes in their backpack. This will help keep them dry and comfortable throughout the school day in case they get wet while outdoors.

Reporting Absences Thru ParentVUE
Why Use ParentVUE for Absences
If a student is not attending school for the day or series of days, the parent has the ability to document this absence in ParentVUE instead of making a call and leaving a voicemail for the attendance clerk.
How to Enter an Absence
- Log in to ParentVUE
- Click on "Report Absences" (listed on the left side panel)
- Mark either 'E for Excused" or "EI for Excused Illness'. You can submit the attendance for a signledate or a range of dates by clicking on each day. (Future absences are not visible in PVUE until the date of the absence.)
- Please leave a comment in the notes section, explaining the absence.
- Click Save
Please let the Attendance Office know about ALL absences even if you have alerted the Classroom Teacher.
