Please don't forget that report cards are located ON LINE via Aeries/Parent Portal! If you still don't have your log in, please ask your student as we got EVERY single student logged on at GVMS! That's a RECORD!!
I am SURE you have heard about TikTok, if not witnessed your student dancing to short (15 seconds) portions of a song. Many tweens and teens are obsessed with making these short music videos! Some of them are super entertaining, for sure!
There are, however, some things we want all parents to be aware of. Anyone can have followers (young students can have adults followers, etc), it can show people/students/children being picked on our bullied, and A LOT of the videos have foul language and adult content. So what can parents do about it (check out the video too!)?
- Know your child's user name and password
- Keep the dialogue open about what videos they are posting and watching
- Remind them that they are creating and adding to their own digital footprint and that ANYONE (parents, coaching, college admission counselors, future employers) can see what they post.
As you already know, our students are completing the MAP testing in English and Math. While we may have had a few technical difficulties, we are plugging away at it!
MAP is a computer adaptive test and shows a student's growth over time (which is why our students take it three times a year!) and it is indicative of how they will perform on the CAASPP test at the end of April.
Teachers will each get reports on every single student as to how they are progressing!
MAP is important and we will be celebrating the growth of our students as soon as they have completed all parts! Want a more in depth look? Take a look at THIS ARTICLE so that you can have a better understanding.
Also, check out the MAP Parent Toolkit website to answer some more questions you may have!
