Honor the Castle Theme for September - "Making Meaningful Connections"
This week's Monday mindset message for 9/21st comes from Mrs. Coretta Scott King-Wife of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Mrs. Scott-King spoke at a conference about her husband’s vision... shared in the “I have dream” speech that our country becomes closer to that reality… each time someone reaches out to help someone else.
Mrs. Scott-King once said that “The greatness of a community is most accurately measured by the compassionate actions of its members".
When we make meaningful connections with one another, we build community and honor the castle together. Thank you Knights for all of your efforts around RMS in support of one another.

PowerSchool app Update:
Great news! The PowerSchool app is once again working for iOS devices (iPhones and iPads). Need help signing back in?
Go to http://classroom.powerschool.com. The district code for Fraser is MLBG. You’ll be prompted to log into Unified Classroom with your PowerSchool ID.
If you’re a student…
When students created these accounts, it was recommended that they use their full Fraser e-mail address (first.last##@students.fraserk12.org) as their PowerSchool ID and a password that matches their Blackboard password. If those credentials are not working, students do not have the ability to use the Forgot Password option. Please submit a help request to the Device and Instructional Support Assistance Form.
If you’re a parent…
If your credentials are not working, please select Forgot Password and follow the prompts to do a password reset. If you’re not receiving an e-mail or don’t know your PowerSchool ID, please submit a help request to the Device and Instructional Support Assistance Form. If you’re a parent that has not yet created a PowerSchool account, please contact your building secretary.
