LinkIt Parent Portal
With our use of LinkIt!, we now have the ability to provide you access to your students' achievements digitally through the LinkIt! Parent Portal. Within the LinkIt! Parent Portal, you will currently see 2021-2022 benchmark assessment data for grades 1 through 6. The url of the LinkIt! Parent portal is eastgreenwich.linkit.com/Parent.
If you have a new student to the district you will receive (or have received) an email from LinkIt! with your registration code. This will cover all of your children. Your username will be your email address where you received the registration code. You will then be directed to create your password. If you have a student in grades 2-6, you will still have access to the parent portal from the last school year
For more information, please visit the curriculum website and "District Assessments" tab. Inside you will find helpful resources within the Linkit section.
If you are having problems logging into your account, please use the Lost password found within the Login window. If you are in need of a registration code or are missing one of your children’s data once logged in, please reach out to Dawn Crowding, the curriculum office secretary, at crowdingd1@eastgreenwich.k12.nj.us.

October Family Character Dare
What is a CharacterDare?
CharacterDares are prompts and reflective conversations organized around specific character challenges (i.e., dares) that provide students, parents and staff with ideas, opportunities, and accountability to put character in action. Students will get character Dares once a week. Families will also get character dares to try out!
Below is October’s Family Character dare:
Counselor Corner
Hello and welcome back to the Counselor's Corner! My name is Kristen Lombardo and I am your child’s school counselor. October is full of lots of activities here at the Samuel Mickle School. Next week we will be honoring the Week of Respect. Lessons and activities were developed and will take place to help the students better understand our HIB policy and procedures and how to respect each other and our differences every day.
The last week in October is Red Ribbon Week. Lessons and activities will take place throughout the week that address being healthy and drug and alcohol free. Our district will hold our annual Red Ribbon Week Poster Contest. Please be on the lookout for more information that will be sent home with your student regarding the contest.
In order to support the above topics, the theme for MIckle’s monthly counseling lessons will address respecting each other and ourselves. We will discuss conflict resolution skills and problem solving skills. If you are interested in checking out any of my lessons they are posted in my google classroom. All students have access to my google classroom.
I am available if you have any questions or concerns. It is important that we all work together. I can be reached by email at lombardok@eastgreenwich.k12.nj.us or by phone at (856)423-0412 ext. 1051. I look forward to working with you and your child.
KIndly,
Kristen Lombardo
