Accountable to our Goals: Academic Supports for Semester 2

Hi everyone!

On the first day of the new semester, our entire Raccoon community had a chance to reflect on the importance of putting first things first. We are all busy with so many responsibilities competing for our time and energy. Now that we are at the mid-point of the year, we felt it was important to slow down and reflect on the goals we set this last Fall and begin to prioritize the events and opportunities that will help us finish the year strong!
Click here to view the schoolwide lesson from Tuesday, January 23, that was led by Mrs. Mueske, our Leadership Development teacher.

With the new semester underway, I want to reiterate ways in which we can all work together to help each Raccoon hold themselves accountable to the goals they have set for this new year. Take a look at the updates and reminders below. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions!

Go Raccoons!

Progress Reports (Every 3 Weeks)

Starting this semester, families will be emailed a grade report every three weeks throughout the term. The report will list the students’ current classes and their grades as of that day. The hope is to help families better monitor the progress of their students throughout the semester and not require families to constantly log in to Family Access to view a student’s grades. 

Families can opt out of this new feature. Click here to view instructions.

 

Family Teacher Conferences (Thursday, February 22)

Family Teacher Conferences are scheduled for Thursday, February 22 from 3:15-7:15pm. Families may log into Family Access and request a 10-minute conference with a teacher beginning at Noon on Monday, February 12 and closing at Noon on Tuesday, February 20. Appointments are made on a first-come, first-served basis. Conference locations will be listed when you book your appointment on Family Access and confirmed prior to your meeting.

 

Canvas

Canvas is our program that manages curriculum delivery and feedback for each class a student is enrolled in. Families have the opportunity to monitor and follow their students' classes on Canvas.

Family Access

Family Access is the tool in which a student’s and family’s personal information and documents are held. This includes their personal information, attendance records, grades, report cards, transcripts, and permission forms. Families can monitor this information by logging into Family Access on any computer or device. Many families utilize the app which you can download to your phone for easier access.
