*NOTE: We distributed the students’ “USER ID and Passwords” on October 28th. They are located on the first page of your child’s planner.


 * JUST IN CASE*****
 * Your child's username and password is lost or misplaced ..... This is how username and password were created....**


 * Your child's User Id is their last name and their first initial all in CAPS. Their password is 06(first four letters of last name)(two digit birth month)(two digit birth day).**

For example**:**
 * If the student's name is John Smith with a birthday of July14,**
