Report Card Printing and Review Process

1. Complete your report cards in eSchoolPLUS.
   
2. When satisfied, let Kellie know and she will format them into a pdf file.Kellie will email the file to you for another review.


3. If you need to make any changes, you will have to go back into eSchoolPLUS. The pdf is a read only file. You will need to notify Kellie again so that she can work her "magic" and send you a new pdf file.
   
4. Once you are satisfied with your report cards, please email the pdf file to either Rebecca or Susan. We will review and send them back to you for printing as quick as we can.
   
5. The reports look best when printed on the laser printer. You can print your set, or Kellie can do it for you.
   

Every Monday Matters
We are entering the home stretch of the 2009 calendar year. With that comes all kinds of hidden stressors. The most fair and very best thing we can do for our students is provide a predictable and focused school environment. While it might be tempting to do something 'new' or 'bird walk' from the core curriculum, or classroom routines - consider how a change at this time of the year might effect your students. Most of the time - especially in these economic times - we have no idea what our families are facing. Thank you for all you do to help keep kids safe, engaged in learning, and hopeful.
