Country Meadows Principal's Message - Friday, November 3, 2023

Dear Country Meadows Families,

As we step into the month of November, I am filled with gratitude for this incredible community. The warm welcome from students, staff, and families has been nothing short of amazing, and I'm genuinely thrilled to have had the opportunity to get to know so many of you. I'm looking forward to strengthening our partnership even further as we move ahead.

Our recent Halloween Party was a blast for the students, and it wouldn't have been possible without the wonderful parent volunteers who made it truly memorable. It is also a testament to our great community to see many of you at the Halloween parade despite the October flurries. 

As we prepare to wrap up our first trimester next week, I'm consistently impressed by our students' perseverance and hard work. Your support at home plays a crucial role in their success, and for that, I'm sincerely grateful.

I hope you all have a fantastic weekend! Thank you for making this community so special.

Kindly,

Aska Lempke

Snow Flurries...

Halloween Fun!

Students loved getting to know Mrs. Sheridan as part of the “Adopt-a-Supt” month!

Dear Parents and Guardians,

As a part of our ongoing commitment to ensuring a safe and secure online environment for our students, we are excited to announce that we will be offering the Lightspeed Systems Weekly Student Online Activity Report to all parents and guardians of our school community.

You will receive an email from District 96 that will enable you to register for the Weekly Student Online Activity Report. Once you receive the email from our school district you will have the ability to register. Simply choose to register and follow the prompts to sign up for the Weekly Student Online Activity Report.

The Lightspeed Systems Weekly Student Online Activity Report is a valuable tool that will allow you to gain insights into your child's web history while using the school's iPad. This report will provide an overview of the websites visited by your child while using the iPad. The report is designed to promote transparency and communication between parents and the school, fostering a safer digital learning experience for our students.

The weekly activity report is only accessible to parents and guardians registered for this service. It will not be shared with any external parties, and the data collected will be used solely for the purpose of improving the online safety measures at our school. Parents/guardians will not start receiving weekly reports until their child has at least a week's worth of browsing data.

Lightspeed Parent/Student Enrollment Email Schedule: Families will begin to receive LightSpeed Parent report emails from Lightspeed. This email correspondence will allow you to enroll and begin receiving your child’s reports from Lightspeed for the following grades on or near the following dates below.

• October 23, 2023 (8th Grade)

• October 30, 2023 (7th Grade)

Please note that while we encourage parents to use this tool to stay involved in their child's online journey, it is essential to have open conversations with your child about their internet use. Establishing trust and communication around digital practices will enhance the overall safety and well-being of our students.

If you have any questions or concerns regarding the Weekly Student Online Activity Report or need assistance with the registration process, please feel free to reach out to the IT department at [email protected].

Thank you for your continued support in creating a secure and nurturing learning environment for our students.
