Excited to see our teachers practicing Concurrent Teaching!
A message from Principal, Amy Miller:
Dear Kilmer Families,
We are excited to kick-off the start of third quarter with Kilmer Spirit Week next week (January 26-January 29). We will start the week by celebrating the Kilmer community by wearing the Kilmer colors - blue and green! Please see below for the daily themes for Kilmer Spirit Week.
Starting in February we will be holding monthly Kilmer Community Events. These will provide opportunities for students and their families to come together in a fun way. Our first event will be a Kilmer Trivia night. We will be sending out details at the beginning of February.
Thank you so much for all the donations to the food pantry. Your generosity and care is so appreciated!
Monday, January 25 is a teacher work day and a student holiday. We will see your students for their synchronous classes on Tuesday, January 26.
Sincerely,
Amy Miller
Principal
2nd Quarter Report Cards
SIS ParentVue and SIS StudentVue Gradebook and Report Card Modules will be unavailable Friday, January 22 at 4pm until Saturday, January 30 at 6am in order for teachers to finalize second quarter grades. After January 30, 2nd Quarter Report cards will be visible in SIS StudentVue and ParentVue. A copy of your child’s report card will also be mailed home the week of Feb 1.
Second Semester Schedules in StudentVue, New Courses in Schoology!
Semester two schedules are now visible in SIS StudentVue. Go to the classes tab and semester two classes will say S2. On Tuesday, 1/26, students will begin their second semester classes. Students will have access to these new semester classes in Schoology as well. Please make sure you look for the “semester 2” label on the course tile in your “My Courses” dropdown. ALL students will need to look for their NEW semester 2 Health and PE course. Semester 1 health and PE Courses are no longer active. If you are in two year long electives (for example, Spanish 1 and Orchestra), health and PE will be your only new class.
Students will be able to see semester 1 classes in Schoology until 1/29, but these classes are no longer active. After 1/29, semester 1 classes will no longer be visible in Schoology.
In a few instances, students may have more than 12 courses listed in Schoology. If this happens, a course might not show up on the tiled dropdown. Students can access the correct course by going to the “My Courses” link in the top right corner of the tiled dropdown. See this video for instructions on how to re-order and prioritize your courses.
