We did it! We made it through the first semester of PVLA K-8. Thank you to all the students and families that have worked hard in our Virtual Learning Academy. It has been a wonderful partership with the InterMountain Educations Service District (IMESD). Together we are able to provide online education to students and families.
Report Cards have been mailed out. If you have any questions about your child's grades, please contact me. Also, if there are any changes to the student portfolio we can update that information.
Second Semester has begun and it is a great opportunity for students to start fresh. During these next 16 weeks make it a point to check on your child's grades at least once a week. If your child is using Google Classroom you can request to receive a Guardian Summary; you will be able to keep track of any missing assignments. Just contact your child's teacher to get it set up. If your child is enrolled in an Acellus class, a parent gold key was sent to your email. You can track your child's grades and progress in a course.
The SORA website URL/link has been added to all PSD chromebooks. Students can find it on the upper toolbar of their chromebook web browser page. They should log in using Google and select their PSD email account as their username. Once in they can very easily browse the available books and checking them out is as simple a few clicks with the mouse. The book check out is good for 14 days, then it gets returned to the library automatically.
If a student wants to access SORA from a personal device, the directions are in this how to video. The video also explains how someone with a Pendleton Public Library card can access and check out books from the Pendleton Public eLibrary using our SORA site.

Our City spotlight this month is the Roy Raley Ice Rink. A great outdoor activitiy that the whole family can enjoy. The City of Pendleton has just extended the date and the rink will now be open until Valentine's Day. $4 to skate and that includes rental/$3 if you have your own skates. Email me a picture of your child trying it out. I can honestly say that I am better in running shoes than ice skates. Good Luck!
