Dear Intermediate School Families,

Please be reminded that there is no school on Monday, the 14th.

Lifetouch:

We certainly had some sharply dressed and well coiffed students last week for picture day!  Believe it or not, school pictures are already ready!  To order yours, log in to your account on mylifetouch.com or create an account using your student's student ID number. He or she should have this number memorized by now.  All families can also log on and order a free Digital SmileSafe card.  More about the Smilesafe program here.

Grades, Trimesters, and Parent Portal:

Fourth grade parents are reminded that starting at the intermediate level, students are graded using a letter system (A, B, C, D, and F).  Students will also receive conduct and effort ratings, as well as progress on learning habits.  Your student’s grades will be routinely updated on the parent portal.  At the end of each trimester, report cards will be posted to the portal.  Paper reports cards are not used.  Our first trimester will close on November 27th, with the mid-term point being October 16th.  First trimester grades will post to the portal on December 4th.  You are encouraged to visit the portal regularly to keep up with your child’s progress.  If you need assistance with the portal, Ms. Barboza (cbarboza@freelake.org) in the main office is happy to help.  


PTO:

Please join us for our next meeting via Zoom on October 15th at 7:00 p.m. We will be wrapping up news on the fun run, planning the fall breakfast for staff on the 25th, and discussing future events and happenings.  The meeting ID: 477 737 8775 and the password is graispto.
