Week of 12/15/08
Dear Parents,
The District has a Calendar Survey that will be used to help make recommendations to the Bullitt County Board of Education regarding the 2009-2010 School Calendar. You can complete the Calendar Survey on-line following a link on the District website (www.bullittschools.org) or your child’s school website. On-line surveys may be completed until 12:30 p.m., Wednesday, December 17, 2008.
This week we will be studying the following in school: Math (Data/graphing), Science (Objects in the Sky), and Social Studies (Christmas around the World/Culture). Star tests in Math will be done this week.
The Parent Portal to view your child’s grades:
· Come to the school and verify your information; sign the form saying the information in the household is correct.
· They will give you a 34 letter and number Globally Unique ID (GUID) which will give you access to your household in Parent Portal.
· You can access Parent Portal from any computer that has Internet access.
· If you have any questions or concerns regarding information in the Parent Portal please contact your child’s school

If you have not come in for your password to access your child’s grades (on-line), please do so. It is yet another way we are trying to communicate what is happening academically for your child.
