Standards Based Report Cards

We went live with report cards this week and I am pleased to report back to families that the new report cards have been well received by most parents. If you are having any trouble accessing the report cards, please contact the main office and we will investigate for you. 

EXPLORE UPDATE

I received some phone calls this week from 8th grade parents who could not access their students' Explore results. Building Codes have changed due to a problem with their master schedule upload.  Here is new information that parents will need to access their reports. 


Enter the new building code:
Woodlawn:  7F75

The individual student IDs HAVE NOT CHANGED.

BOYS NIGHT OUT

Last night was incoming 6th grade boys night out.  Good times.  Chicago Bear quarterback Matt Blanchard was here to share words of wisdom with the students. Great job by the PTO parents who organized this night.  I was a little surprised that no one wanted to hear about my stint as a Freshman “B” quarterback for the 1979 Arlington Cardinals.  We were 1-6. 

 Here's Matt Blanchard and me, the Greg Grana...


Although for those that truly know me, you know I'd prefer to see this...

Pi Day 3.14


Mrs. Gartenberg's and Mrs. Kalisz's 6th grade math classes really enjoyed celebrating Pi Day yesterday.  According to Wikipedia, Pi is "The number π (/p/) is a mathematical constant that is the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter, and is approximately equal to 3.14159. It has been represented by the Greek letter "π" since the mid-18th century, though it is also sometimes written as pi."  But to the rest of us, Pi is nothing but a good time...








Have a great weekend... and just one more week until Spring Break!
Mr. G
