Parent access for the Educate Student information System is open.   
Parents may request access for the system by emailing Mr. Woods at olqm1@aol.com.

It is important that parents keep abreast of their child's progress on a weekly basis regarding completion of homework/projects and test scores. Should parents see a problem then an appointment should be made with the teacher of that subject.
Parents should not wait until Report Card Night to say 
"Wow...I didn't know my child was failing?"


Chocolate Bars 
Chocolate Bars are available in the office to assist parents in their fund raising requirements. Each box contains 60 bars and the money for each box (money order/check preferred) should be returned to Mrs. Resto in the tuition office. Parents who do not wish to sell candy bars may pay Smart Tuition directly through their account. 
Parents need to remember that this is an either/or decision. 
Either parents sell candy bars OR they pay Smart Tuition the fund raising fee. 
The programming of Smart Tuition this year 
does not permit a split decision as was done in year's past.
