Week of October 5, 2015 Announcements



Cornerstone Student Information System
The Cornerstone Student Information System will be opened for parents beginning Monday October 5th. Parents may come from 8:00 AM - 9:00 AM to see Alan and receive their login and password for the system. There is a link on the school web page of www.olqmnyc.org under academics for the Cornerstone SIS. Parents may also request login information and passwords through Mr. Woods' e-mail at olqm1@aol.com.There have been some changes to the system this year - there will not be weekly conduct and effort grades reflected on the system. Those grades will be determined before report card distribution.The grade distribution has also been changed this year and will show on the Cornerstone SIS for your child. These changes are being made now as the report card will completely change beginning in September 2016. The Superintendent's office feels that changes need to be made to the report card to reflect the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) that have been in place for the past couple of years.

IRIS Alert System
Some parents are still not receiving the IRIS alerts. Please let Alba know that you are not receiving the alerts. The system was updated and it seems not all the data transferred over.

Parents of Students in grades 4-8 - New York State Test Results in Mathematics and ELA.
Mr. Woods has had the results of the New York State test results since the end of August. We were suppose to receive a parent score letter from the scoring center for each child. We have not received the letters as of yet and we have been working on the issue. All teachers also have the results of each child's scores. As soon as the parent letters arrive you will be notified.
Students who were administered the NYSESLAT test last spring - the scores went home the first week of school with your child.
