Principal's Message
Happy Friday Grizzell Families!
It has been so nice seeing teachers back in the building and working with our students in their various Google Meets throughout the day. We hope that your student has had a positive 1st week of school and we plan to continue the momentum into next week. My own kids return to school in an online format and probably like a lot of you, there are a lot of uncertainties from a parent's perspective. I am relying on my kids to know what they need to do and when it needs to be done. I am fairly certain that there will be missed meetings, links that don't work, and assignments that won't get done. Will I be checking their schoology assignments and their grades everyday? There is no possible way with our family's schedule. This is a chance to give my kids some responsibility and see how they respond. There will be some failures along the way, but those failures provide valuable learning opportunities that will benefit them in the years to come.
I hope that you and your families have a great weekend together and we look forward to week 2 on Monday.
Regards,
Andy

Schoology
Schoology
Schoology is our learning management system which means that is the central location for your information, assignments, and grades. By now, your child should be using schoology throughout the day to access their courses which contain assignments, google meetings, and other classroom information. Please reference these resources if you are having difficulty with either your student or parent account.
