October 2018 Newsletter: District News

K-12 Conferences October 15-16
There are no classes for students on Monday and Tuesday, October 15-16, as teachers at all buildings will hold conferences. Please be sure to schedule a conference with your student’s teacher(s) so that you can be an informed partner in your student’s learning. 



Update Student Information Forms Online Before October 17
Families who have not updated their student’s online student information form (formerly the annual goldenrod student information paper form) may do so at any time before October 17. Please visit https://update.shaker.org to complete your information. Login credentials are based on the youngest enrolled student attending Shaker Schools.
Username: Student ID number of youngest Shaker student in household.  
Password: Youngest Shaker student’s 8-digit date of birth without spaces or marks (mmddyyyy) 

The District will have Chromebook kiosks available at all buildings during student conferences on October 15-16 for families who have not completed the form. Please visit your school building’s office to learn the location of the kiosk. We appreciate your cooperation in helping us to keep accurate contact information records for your students. 



Online Report Cards for Students in Grades 5-12
Families with students in Grades 5-12 will access student report cards online via ProgressBook. Sharing report cards electronically streamlines the process of receiving final grades for families and represents significant savings in postage and service contracts for the District.

At the end of each grading period—every nine weeks at the High School and Middle School (the first quarter ends October 26), and every 12 weeks at Woodbury—families will receive an email and text notification that report cards are available for viewing. Simply log in to your family’s ProgressBook account as you would to view your student’s grades and click on the new “Report Card” tab. 

Families with incoming fifth graders will receive a letter that explains how to set up a family account in ProgressBook at the start of the school year. 

The District will mail report cards home for students in Grades 5-12 by request only. Contact your building office if you would like a printed copy of your student’s report card.
