Knightly Newsletter: Week of September 28, 2020

Welcome Back to our 3rd-5th grade students who have chosen to return Face to Face. We are excited to have you back on campus.

As we welcome back so many of our Knights, there are a few safety precautions that we have in place to ensure the safety of all of our Face to Face learners.

 The doors will open at 8:05 a.m. NO students are allowed to be dropped off before this time as there is no one on duty to watch the students before 8:05.

• Car Riders-Students must remain in their vehicle until they have been screened and cleared by a staff member.
• · Walkers should line up on the orange feet in the front of the school to ensure social distancing. Parent/Guardians must remain with the students until they have been screened and cleared by a staff member.
• Students are considered tardy after 8:35.
• If a student arrives after 8:35, the parent/guardian must walk the student to the door to be screened. The student must be cleared for entry before the parent/guardian can leave the student.

 Thank you for your support with keeping our knights safe.

Want to see your student’s grades and report cards? Log into HAC!

As we prepare to release progress reports and report cards this fall, we wanted to remind you how to check your child’s grades on the Home Access Center.

The key is to log into the myspringisd portal and into HAC. There you will find a Grades tab. When you click on that, you will see where to locate your child’s progress report (IPR), report cards and more. 

Remember, the username and password you use to log into the portal is the same username and password for logging into HAC. Also, parents should log in using their credentials, not their student’s. 

Staying connected with your child’s academic progress is a great way to ensure your student’s success in school. By monitoring and encouraging, you can help support your child’s performance.

See the attached handouts in English and Spanish for step-by-step directions.

Download the Spring ISD Mobile App and Stay Informed

The app is available from Google Play or the App Store and allows parents and guardians to easily access important student information, including assignments, classes, grades, lunch balances and attendance. Parents can also update their contact information to ensure they receive important messages from the campus or district. This step-by-step guide will help get you started: 

1. After downloading and launching the app, you can access your student’s information by selecting the “Student Info” icon.
2. Type in your “myspringisd” username and password. If you don’t know your username and password, contact your school.
3. Once you log in, you will see icons with your name and the names of your children. Select your student’s icon.
4. Now you will see lots of great information like your student’s classes, grades, assignments and lunch balances.
5. Click on your name, too, to make sure your phone number, text/SMS number and email address are correct. That way, you’ll be sure to get important campus and district information.
6. Lastly, make sure to set your alerts. You can get notifications including: missing assignments, class grade updates, assignment grades, and cafeteria balances.

That’s it! You’re ready to use our mobile app, which will help you help your student have a successful year! Questions? Check out: www.springisd.org/mobileapp.

Student Code of Conduct Updated to Reflect Changes Related to Pandemic

The district’s 2020-21 Student Code of Conduct has been updated to reflect revisions and additions related to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Specifically, the handbook now includes guidance around how students are expected to behave to promote safety when health conditions permit in-person learning on the campuses, including maintaining social distancing procedures, handwashing, wearing masks and keeping mouth and nose covered while sneezing and/or coughing. 

Students could face disciplinary action for purposefully trying to cough or sneeze on another person, refusing to adhere to social distancing standards, and removing personal protective equipment like a mask with the goal of trying to harm or threaten another person with bodily fluids. 

Students who show up to school without a mask or refuse to wear one during the school day may also face a dress code violation. The expectation is that all students come to school wearing a face covering, just as they would adhere to dress code. The goal is to keep everyone in our school safe, including students and staff. 

To view the entire Code of Conduct, please click here. Parents without ability to download the Code of Conduct may request one in print by emailing Thomas Graham, the director of Student Affairs at tgraham@springisd.org.
