Schoology for Parents
Did you know Schoology has a free and easy-to-use phone app? If you have a parent account already, you can log into the phone app to see your students’ assignments, grades, and any other info teachers have posted there. You can set up notifications that work for you. One option is to get a summary email each week, another is to get an email every time there is a missing assignment. Look for the Schoology app in your phone’s app store!
If you do not have a parent account yet, or you want to add a child to your existing account, you will need to get a code for each student. Ask your child’s teacher or the office manager for the right code.

OCTOBER WEBINAR:
SUPPORTING MENTAL HEALTH THROUGH SOCIAL EMOTIONAL LEARNING
See flyers for below for more information.
Healthy Youth Survey
The Healthy Youth Survey includes questions related to physical activity and diet, unintentional and intentional injury, substance abuse, sexual behaviors, abuse, risk and protective factors, and access to school-based services. Survey results are used by schools, communities and state agencies to plan programs to support our youth and reduce their risks.
Participation in the survey is voluntary and the student's answers are anonymous.
If you have questions, please email academicsupport@leschischools.org.
Fall Testing Schedule
Due to the limited in-person time in the classroom last school year, last spring’s state testing was extended to this fall. This extension allowed flexibility for schools and teachers to best meet student’s needs.
This October we will be completing shortened versions of these assessments to minimize the impact on student’s classroom learning time while still being able to gather important information about each student’s performance level.
The schedule below shows which grade level will be testing in October. Each grade takes the Smarter Balance Assessment (SBA) based on what grade they were in last spring. Students will be taking the SBA in ELA and Math. Students in grades 6, 9, and 12 will also be taking the Washington Comprehensive Assessment of Science (WCAS).

- October 26: 4th & 5th, SBA ELA
- October 27: 4th & 5th, SBA Math
