Rowe Lane News Updates
We had a fantastic week back after the Thanksgiving break! Our staff and students are working incredibly hard to finish the second nine-weeks strong. This is a good time to review assignments and grades with your students to ensure all missing work is complete before the Winter break. Don't forget if you are planning to change your child's learning preference for the third nine-weeks, the deadline is this Wednesday, December 9th. Check out this week's Rowe Lane updates below!
Third Nine-Weeks Transition Period: Changes to Learning Preferences due December 9th
We are preparing for the third nine-weeks by providing a Google Form to capture changes to students’ learning preferences. Parents/guardians will have the opportunity to make changes to their child’s learning preference for the third nine weeks by completing the google form for each student below. If families do not know the current method of instruction captured in Skyward, please complete the form to ensure we have the most updated learning preference for the student. If families do not need to make any changes to their child's learning preference, no further action is required. The two methods of instruction include On-Campus learning and Virtual learning. The deadline to submit changes to your child's learning preference through the Google Form will be 5:00 pm, Wednesday, December 9th.

Small Moves Website
Our Small Moves website is up and running. In an effort to reach prekindergarten students who are not currently enrolled in the district, and provide supports to help prepare them for kindergarten, PfISD has created the Small Moves program. The district will provide information and home learning activities and ideas to engage in while at home multiple times per year. You will find digital registration links for families in English, Spanish and Vietnamese. Our first mailout and digital materials will be available in early December.

Online Student Art Portfolios
Hello Parents/Guardians,
Rowe Lane Art teachers are creating online student art portfolios on Artsonia.com. Artsonia manages student art portfolios in a safe and educational manner. Digital portfolios for students are in the works. We have uploaded most of the in-person student work since Oct. 13th and are in the process of uploading completed projects for virtual students who submit artwork through Canvas and/or Seesaw. We will update digital portfolios periodically, but please note that not every assignment will be included in the digital portfolios. This will be the primary way to view student art and it is completely optional for parents to sign up. We, Artsonia, Mrs. Clark & Mrs. Murphy, need your permission to publish student work. Until you provide permission, your child’s digital art portfolio will be unpublished and hidden. Please note, the end of the year art show will be digital and on Artsonia.com. If you create an account you will have access to your child’s digital portfolio, have access to add family to your child’s fan club, review any comments about artwork and support Rowe Lane’s Art program.
Please look for an email within the coming weeks from Artsonia.com inviting you to sign up and view your child’s art portfolio.
Thank you for your support,
Mrs. Clark & Mrs. Murphy
