• If you have not signed up for the WorkSafe App, please do so before Monday, September 14th. We will start making daily phone calls to parents who have not completed the WorkSafe App on Monday.  Checking your child's temperature at home and filling out the app daily helps ensure everyone in the school stays healthy and makes the school day run a lot smoother.   
• To make an account, use the child's email address as the login and use password777 as a temporary password. The username will remain the student’s email. 
• The student email account consists of the following:
• The first three letters of last name + first four letters of first name + ipride22.org.
• Example: Thomas Dreiling = drethom@ipride22.org
• Once logged in, you can change the password by clicking on the gear widget in the screen’s upper-right corner. Then select “change password.”

• HOMEWORK REQUEST...If you know your child will be absent two days or more, please contact the main office before 9:00 a.m. by email (jmosgo@independence.k12.oh.us) to request missed assignments for your child. Please do not leave this information on the “attendance line.” This line is dedicated only for absences. Every effort will be made to have assigned work ready in the main office by 3:45 p.m. on that second day. Please note: Our office closes, and the building is locked at 4:00 p.m. We encourage your child to check with the teachers upon their return to school to review any missing work that remains. Students will have additional time to complete work missed during their absence, i.e., 2 days absence-2 days additional make-up time. Please remember all requests for assignments must go through the main office.
