Bits and Bytes from the Computer Lab

• Parents can view their K-5 children's Success Maker scores online through Power School.  Log on to Power School and click on your child's computer grade for the quarter.  There you can keep track of your child's progress quarterly for grades K-5.  Parents who wish to see their student's scores in grades 6-8 should contact Mrs. Kremer or the homeroom teacher.  Students in grades K-5 access the Success Maker program in the computer lab once weekly to improve their skills in the areas of reading (RR, IR, RW), spelling (SS) and math  (MCS).  Students in grades 6-8 use the program occasionally in the library and computer lab, when they don't have another project they are working on.  We ask that you encourage your child to work hard and make good use of their Success Maker sessions.
