LMS has created a Parent Support Group in an effort to encourage parental involvement. Our first meeting was not the response that we envisioned.

You can always email to me and I will get them posted. If I can’t I have access to the Holler Team and they can help!

Try saving them to your desktop so they are easier to find. When you click the button to upload, make sure your file type is changed to all files and not just custom files.

One resource that has been extremely helpful for me in adjusting to standards based for grammar is the app zipgrade. I and the students get immediate results and it’s a great tool for data collection.
I have also recently looked into noredink as a great resource for English. It breaks down parts of language into various sections for students…Read More1 Comment-
Zip Grade is a quick and efficient way to grade lots of papers and allows students to start bubbling in answers on answer sheets (which is a skill in itself). And you get so many scans free. 🙂

Our second Parent Support Group meeting was much more successful because of the time change. Participating parents expressed their gratitude towards the time change.
