FOR PARENTS	Tell your child to tell me the secret code: Octoberfest. If they do, then I will award extra credit for their use of this site. We use Moodle in our classroom daily: http://moodle.scsc.k12.in.us/moodle This site is up-to-date; whereas, HomeworkHero is not up-to-date. HomeworkHero is only providing you an overview of your child's daily work. If you would like to see his/her work, you can 1)use your child's access codes and look at the actual Moodle site or 2)come into SHS and pickup an access code to let you see ALL of your child's grades in every class. I believe it is important for parents and students to communicate about education and remain on the same page. If you ever have questions, you may contact me at school 522-4384, ext. 2213; at home, 522-8492; by email, cummingsr@scsc.k12.in.us; or you are also welcome in the classroom anytime. Thanks for all you do--it shows in the classroom!
