Spotlight on Sangster’s New Staff Members
Each week we will feature two new Sangster staff members via our weekly newsletter and on Twitter so our community can get to know them better. Welcome, Mr. Salvucci and Ms. Dierman!
Consent for Select Digital Resources
At Sangster Elementary, our teachers will use a variety of digital resources to support student learning and promote communication and collaboration with students and families. Some of the digital resources your child may use this year will require your consent before they can be used.
You can find Sangster’s list of the digital resources that require parental consent here: https://sangsteres.fcps.edu/adopteddigitalresources.
You can find more information about approved digital resources in FCPS here: https://www.fcps.edu/resources/technology/digital-resources.
Included on our Sangster webpage is a link to the parent consent form where the enrolling parent/guardian will need to indicate whether or not their student is allowed to use the list of digital resources this year. This page also provides more information about how FCPS carefully reviews digital resources for approval and why we must request your consent before using certain tools. We encourage you to complete the parental consent for digital resources form as soon as possible, as your child will not be able to use the digital resources until we have received your permission. Please reach out to the school if you have questions or concerns about the digital resources we’ve chosen to use this year.
To provide your parental consent for each student in your family, please follow this link and follow the provided directions.
Schoology
The School Based Technology Specialists of the West Springfield Pyramid have made this video to help parents with the basics of our new Learning Management System Schoology. Making sure you have an active parent account will help you in supporting your child’s learning as well as get communication from your child’s teacher and the school.
