Good Afternoon South Lake Community, Parent portal is now open for parents and students to view 1st Trimester Progress Reports. You can now log on to your portal account at https://my.iusd.org. Shark Success Night is next Thursday, October 26th from 5:30pm - 7:30pm. Shark Success Night is dedicated time for our teachers to meet with students and parents/guardians to address specific need(s) for a class or multiple classes. We use this model in lieu of individual conferences so that it is more efficient to get around to all teachers and meet with more families over the two hours. We will be communicating out to all families this evening with specific information about your attendance. Parents/guardians of students meeting or exceeding proficiency in their classes will receive confirmation today that attendance is not required. We will also be inviting parents/guardians today should your attendance be required. Overall Schedule
5:30 - 7:30pm Teacher Conferences (please arrive by 7:00 PM) Specific Programming: We will also be offering some breakout sessions for specific groups of students and families. Invitations for these will be sent out today as well. 5:30 - 6:15pm English Learner Group @ MPR
6:15 - 6:45pm Academic Support/Organization Group @ Library
It is important that you know that you may reach out to a specific teacher(s) at any time should you have questions or concerns about your child over the course of the year. We encourage you to use Aeries, Canvas and your child’s Planner to stay up to date with their progress. Our math teachers will not be able to review the Math Pathways during Shark Success Night. IUSD website has resources to assist with navigating the pathways on their website at Mathematics Pathways.
Please review crosswalk safety with your student. We are seeing too many students not waiting at crosswalks or for cars to see them before riding or walking across the street. We do not have crossing guards, these are only available for elementary schools as it is expected for a middle school student to adhere to street safety guidelines.
As we are approaching Halloween, here are some guidelines for costumes and candy. Students are permitted to wear costumes to school as long as they adhere to our dress code. Students are NOT permitted to bring any accessories that are weapons, wear fake blood, or have their face covered with a full mask or face paint. We must be able to identify every student for safety purposes. We also ask that costumes are age and school appropriate. Please do not send Halloween candy with your student to school…we need to be mindful of food allergies! ASB is advertising this as a school spirit week…more info to come!IUSD annual College and Career Fair is at Northwood High School on Monday, October 23rd. Students and families are encouraged to attend to learn about post-secondary options. |

Progress Reports are available on Parent Portal. For this Progress Report, you will see a grade for every class. On the progress report, you will not only be able to view grades but also comments regarding "Work Habits" and "Citizenship". You will see a mark for them both. In IUSD, we are moving to a numerical representation of these: “4-consistently”, “3-usually”, “2-sometimes”, and “1-rarely”.
These marks do not calculate into students' grades; however, they are tremendous indicators to how well students are doing in class. A student who is getting a "3" may mean that they regularly practice positive behaviors, actively participate in class, turn in work on time, and demonstrate kindness in the language they use with others most of the time. For students that fall in the 1 or 2 area for work habits and/or citizenship, we will be implementing intervention strategies in specific targeted areas.
Here are some of the criteria that would lead to students' success in school and beyond:
