GRADE BOOK: Used to post grades. Download the app to have access 24/7.
GradeBook breaks each class into separate categories. If your student has a low grade this can help explain why. For example, if homework average is a 37% and test/quiz average is an 87% it becomes easier to see where the problems are. You are also able to set alerts on GradeBook for when your student’s grade drops below a certain level. Login to your account, click “My Account”, and then click “Manage Alerts”.
If you are having problems logging in to GradeBook, click “Forgot username or password”. If you need the key to set up your GradeBook account, contact Pam Hertzler at hertzler.pam@lexington.k12.oh.us
 SCHOOLOGY: Used to post class notes, worksheets, daily lessons, reminders, homework help, tutoring clips, and more. Download the app to have access 24/7.
This is an amazing resource that teachers are starting to see a lot of success with. Need help logging in? Students use the SAME login/password they use to log on to the computers at school. Parents should have received personalized instructions (sent home with students during the first six weeks). Call us at 419-884-2112 and we will be happy to help.
REMIND: Remind is a service used by many teachers to send reminders to students and parents.
You can receive remind notifications via text, email, or through the app. To sign up, enter the class code (found below) into the Remind app, or text the class code to 81010.

Community Resources The holidays are quickly approaching. When we think of the holiday season, we often associate these times with joy and family celebration. Throw in some stress, overeating, and family conflict, and you have the stereotypical holiday celebration! However, the holidays can also be a painful reminder of lost loved ones and the struggles that life brings. Many people struggle with grief, financial hardship, depression, and countless other issues. Special occasions tend to put a spotlight on these struggles. Fortunately, there is help available. Richland County has a number of resources to help people through tough times. First Call of Richland County is a great place to start. I have called many times to get information on food pantries, help with bills, clothing needs, housing questions, etc. The staff is incredibly helpful and friendly.

Love Language

This is a great article detailing the 5 love languages of children and what that means to parents. https://www.parents.com/parenting/better-parenting/advice/love-languages-of-children/ Here is a link to quizzes for each age group or stage of life.  https://www.5lovelanguages.com/quizzes/

Is it Spring yet?   Are you enjoying our long weekend?  I do not know about you, but these few days have been a huge asset for me to be able to get caught up on some of the work that I needed to do.  I hope that you have also made use of these days and were able to get caught up on anything you were behind on and prepared for the weeks ahead.   Obviously, one challenge of the cold days is that it impacted the PARCC testing schedules.  On Tuesday we will begin the Geometry test. We will also make-up any students that missed a portion of the Algebra test.  A reminder for the 8th grade students, your English testing will begin this week also. There will be three sessions: February 27th, March 3rd and March 5th.  Next week the 7th graders will begin their English testing on March 2nd, March 4th and March 6th. These days are really sneaking up on us! Hopefully you are all making every possible effort to be in school for the testing each day, bu...
