PODCAST UPDATE WITH SUPERINTENDENT AND PRINCIPALS
“Following on Governor Abbott’s Executive Order on schools issued this afternoon, it is important to note that while the Governor’s decision continues the closure of school buildings for in-person classroom attendance for the duration of the 2019-20 school year, it in no way ends at-home instructional support for Texas’s millions of students. School districts across Texas have worked diligently to make the transition to virtual learning. Students must continue to receive daily academic support from their teachers and schools for the remainder of the 2019-20 school year. Thank you to our superintendents, principals, and teachers for their leadership in ensuring that academic progress continues during this unprecedented public health crisis. We fully support your efforts.”
While we are sad, we understand the need to ensure the safety and health of our families. Listen to Superintendent Alton and Principals Floyd and Creamer talk about what's next. Click the button below.
PARENT PORTAL DOWN FOR UPGRADE
Our parent portal (through which you can check grades/attendance) is being updated and will now be called ASCENDER.

Then you will be able to login to the new and improved site using the resources below (assuming everything goes as planned for them).
Stay tuned for information and updates from our Registrars: Krisha Capizzi and Priscilla Lara-Palmer.

7 Habits Self-Assessment Tool
Check out this valuable tool that will help your child (or you!) grow as a leader. It will also help you understand the 7 Habits that we teach the students if you are new to them.
Chromebook Issues?
- student name
- Chrome Book Cart and device number, AKA Secondary Cart 6-2.19 (which is on a sticker on the back of the checked out Chromebook)
- what the issue is with the device, and
- what type of charger the it has (USB-C, ASUS, or HP BlueTip).
The teacher can then request that a new Chromebook is available for check out. Chromebook pick up will be on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 11:00-12:00 weekly at the SECONDARY CAMPUS OFFICE. It will only be available once the request is put in by the teacher. Please do not just show up to campus.
Field Trips and Activities
Marble Run
Use all those toilet paper rolls and other recycled materials to create a marble run! See if you can plan it out where it takes exactly 10 seconds for your marble to complete the run. If you don’t have a marble, try another small ball.
Live Escape Room
https://www.breakoutedu.com/live
Students can play a live escape room game every day. Previous games are available on demand.
Earth Day Challenge
In celebration of Earth Day, NuMinds Enrichment will host an online, 24-hour Cardboard Challenge. Beginning April 21st at 7pm CST, the website below will contain free instructional videos and directions for how to safely submit and share your work online.
Formal Virtual Learning Plan
All grades will be weighted with the weights previously used by teachers throughout the year.
In grades K-1, teachers will continue to use the skills checklist to assess student progress.
In grades 2-4, teachers will record at least 1 grade per week for each subject area for a total of at least 9 grades. Students will have the opportunity to redo two of their lowest grades.
Content grades in specials will be an E for all students.
Conduct grades will be an E for all students unless there is documentation of behavior issues in the online lessons.
Closed Campus - Contact Info
Your child's teacher would be the best contact initially, but I am available to help in any way that I can: mcreamer@lpsfrisco.com. Office hours for teachers will be 1-3pm Monday-Friday.
There is no need to email attendance notes to the office; you can simply communicate with the teacher if a child is too sick to work that day.
Our campus website will also be a great source of information. I have added a section above the Weekly News link with games we have been teaching the kids during PAWS as well as Bedtime Stories.
