Students came to school this week, ready and eager to learn. We began with a day of community building, and we spent the rest of the week getting into academics. Though this year was unusual, our Parkway students showed us just how committed, resilient, and focused they are. We are off to a great year already! |

Reminder: Follow Your Daily Schedule
|
|
Our learning is both synchronous (live) and asynchronous (independent). However, we will be planning our synchronous sessions around a schedule. For example, if you have math block 1 and your teacher communicates that they will go live on a day, you should sign on during that block's time (9:30-10:00). Teachers might be going live multiple times per day to teach each of their blocks, but you should try to sign on for the block that you are scheduled for. This will help you get to know your classmates a little better! |
|
Reminder: Take Attendance Daily
|
|
A student or a student's parent or guardian should complete daily attendance once each school day. When completed, the once-daily attendance process will confirm attendance for all of a student's classes for that day.
To take attendance, students should log into their Campus Student iPad app, located on their iPad home screen. Parents who are taking attendance for their student should use "Campus Parent" at spps.org/onestop.
- Support your student to check in daily by clicking "Yes, I'm here" in Campus to indicate attendance.
- Monitor your student's engagement in Distance Learning by checking for completion of assignments, completing asynchronous lessons (anytime), and attending synchronous sessions (same time).
- Communicate with the teacher if you have questions about how to mark "Participated" in Campus for Attendance.
- Call or email your school to report excused absences.
- Contact the school office if you believe your attendance is incorrect.

Materials: Instrument Pickup |
|
If you are in need of an instrument for your class you will need to come to Parkway on September 17th between the times of 8 am - 6 pm. You will come up on Clarence St. Door number 11, where the students entered the building last year to pick up your instrument and any supplies needed for the instrument. This is very important to come to as it is our only day. Ms. Denae will be there to give you the instrument. |
