IXL District Competition
Our competition is much more intense for the month of December! Parents, we are counting on you to help us during Winter Break.
We are asking for 20 minutes each day on IXL. It's such a short amount of time AND it is a great learning program to support your child in Reading and Math!
We want to WIN in DECEMBER, but we are also trying to reach 1,000,000 questions answered by the end of this month! To date we have reached 730, 295!
Let's work together and WIN!!!
Student Protection Plan
If you have any questions please call or email the office.
What is the STPP and how does it work?
What is the STPP?
As with any school resource - library books, textbooks, etc. - our students and families will be financially responsible if they damage or lose the iPad and/or Chromebook that we issue to them this year, or the charger and case that comes with it. Since device replacement and repairs can be costly we offer parents an optional protection plan that we call the STPP - Student Technology Protection Plan. The secondary schools have been using the STPP for several years.
Overview of the iPad STPP (PreK-3)
In short, for $12.50 the STPP will cover 100% of the cost of fixing or replacing the student's iPad or Chromebook the FIRST time it is accidentally damaged or stolen. If reporting stolen we MUST have a police report.
Coverage is 50% the second time the device is accidentally damaged or stolen and the third time there is no coverage.
We have set the cost of a stolen/accidentally damaged iPad at $240, a Chromebook is $200, an iPad screen is $100, Chromebook screen $90, iPad charger $13, Chromebook charger $20. You can check the website for other charges. There is no multi-kid discount for families that have multiple kids.
What is NOT covered?
Losing the device. For example, leaving it at the park or losing one's backpack with the device in it.
Deliberate damage. If it is obvious that the device was damaged on purpose then the STPP will not cover it.
Damaging someone else's device: If student A damages student B's iPad, student A cannot use their STPP to cover the damage to student B's iPad.
Damage to a sibling's device: The $12.50 is per student, per device. One sibling's STPP cannot be used to cover damage on another sibling's device.
A lost case. Student's are instructed to leave the case on the device. There is no reason a case should be lost.
A lost charger. Students are expected to return the charger (and lighting cable in the case of iPads) when they return the device.
How/When Do Parents Pay?
Parents can pay online using InTouch or can pay the Financial Secretary at school. Once the deadline has passed to pay for the second semester the $12.50 charge will be removed for any family/student that did not pay and it will be assumed they chose to opt out.
What happens if I don't have the STPP and I damage or lose my device?
If you do not purchase the STPP and you lose or damage your device the fee will be entered into INTouch and your schedule or Teacher will not be given until the fine is paid or arrangements are made.
Holiday Store
DON'T FORGET THE HOLIDAY STORE
NEXT WEEK IS THE LAST WEEK FOR IT!
ALL CLASSES WILL HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO GO AGAIN.
Volunteers will be required to wear a mask at all times while in the building and will have their temperatures taken each day before they are allowed into the building. You will also be required to wear gloves while assisting the students in the store. Due to social distancing we will need more one on one help with the students so any time you can volunteer would be greatly appreciated.
Please click the link below to sign up to volunteer.
