Thank You!

Hello Parents,

I want to personally thank all the families who have already participated in our Reading for Education fundraiser! We are on our way to reaching our goal, but we need everyone's help to make sure our teachers get the essential tools they need to help our students succeed.

If your family has not participated, there's still time!

This safe and easy fundraiser is 100% online so there is no face-to-face selling, collecting money, or delivering products. Your child will receive a prize just for participating, and more prizes will be awarded when goals are reached.

Please help now. It really will make a difference.

Go to https://www.rfe.net/sid.t?0000013534 to show our valued teachers your support.

Thanks
Otter Creek Elementary School

P.S. Family participation is the key to our success, and we are counting on you!

Today we started a Reading for Education program to help our school raise money. An envelope explaining how the program works has been sent home with your student. Parents, please read over the information describing how you can participate. Your student will earn a participation prize when they return the filled-out envelope to school, and they can earn more great prizes when your family and friends help our school raise money. So don't forget to send the filled-out envelope back to school, and thanks for your support.

We still have several students whose "LRSD Student Technology Use & Digital Citizenship Policy" has not yet been acknowledged. This has to be completed so that students may use a school Chromebook during instruction.

Link to the electronic device agreement (you will need your student's ID number)

Insurance for a student Chromebook is only $26, covers the whole school year, and is HIGHLY encouraged.

Hello Otter Parents/Guardians,

This Friday, your student will bring home a very important letter regarding how to access their ATLAS results. This letter contains your student’s unique access code needed to view their academic data.

It is vital that you use this code to log in and review your student’s most recent summative and screener data. Staying informed about this information is an essential part of supporting your child’s academic success.

If you have any questions or need assistance, please contact Ms. Hayes, Testing Coordinator for Otter Creek.

Thank you for making this a priority!
