Back to School Night for 7th and 8th grade will take place at 6:30 P.M. on Thursday, September 14, in the library. This year there will be a focus on how to access information online in order to support your children and monitor their progress. The upper grade teachers will demonstrate how to access and work with the JCS website and its calendars, the upper grade teachers’ classroom websites, the Upper Grade Bulletin, and the new online gradebook.
The upper grades have adopted an online gradebook that you will be able to access throughout the year. Coming soon in the mail you will find a sheet of instructions about how to set up your parent portal account for accessing the gradebook. You may set up your account at any time.
In addition to covering all of this technology, Back to School Night is an opportunity for you to meet classroom teachers and hear about and sign up for volunteer opportunities.
If you are unable to attend this event, we are more than happy to help with whatever is needed, and all classroom handouts will be available here and on the teachers’ websites. You may also contact your child’s homeroom teacher to sign up as a volunteer.
