Tech For Parents

This year at Parent-Teacher Conferences we wanted to bring a little bit of our tech to our parents. As parents we have a lot of information about kids available to us now. One easy way to stay on top of your child's progress is through out STI gradebook program. Parents and students each get their own accounts. Once you log in, you can see the child's grades in each class, you can see what assignments are missing, what work was turned in late, and how many points assignments are worth. 

If you need a username and password stop by the school office and Mrs. Smith our school secretary will get you all set up. Here is a link to the STI InformationNOW Parent Portal Instruction Guide.  

We also have some ideas for parent help with our math series GO Math! In each lesson there is a QR code that will take you to a sample problem and walk parents through the steps of how to find a solution. It's a great tip for nights when you're not 100% sure what the problem means or how to go about solving it. Watch a presentation on it below.

Look for the bar code in the lesson. Use your phone to scan the QR code and then follow the link.

Finally, we have a lot of great things going on with our Accelerated Reader program (affectionately called STAR reading here). You can always log in from home to check on how many books your child has read or how they did on a test or how many points they have earned.

Here's a screencast I created that shows you how to log in and what the page looks like.
