A New Year - time to evaluate your child's mid-year progress

Parents,

After the Christmas and New Year holiday we will be coming to the end of two marking periods, half way through the school year. Progress Reports for some schools will be posted or delivered prior to the Christmas break. It is beneficial to your child if you take the time to evaluate progress in all subject areas.

Click on the title of this blog entry and you will be taken to an Internet site, "Internet4classrooms" that has a number of websites in all different disciplines which can be used anytime during the school year. This is an additional tool to help you as parents become more involved in your child's learning process.

More suggestions and ideas will be posted in the next several weeks.

New Passwords will be issued shortly for some schools

Parents,

It is a good practice to change passwords on occasion to increase the possibility no one can hack into your account. During this fall season some of our schools will change your user names and passwords. The day the change is made the school will send home to you the new password and user name.

Please know we will continue to do what is necessary to protect your child's information.

PowerSchool was down today-October 24th- for the morning hours

Parents,

As I state in my sessions, sometimes we are down due to unforeseen circumstances and today was one of those days. There was a major electricial outage in the area of Piscataway where our offices and servers reside. The system was available again prior to 11:30 a.m. I apologize for any inconvenience that was caused by this outage even though it was not within our control.

Thank you for your patience.
