CLOSING THE DIGITAL DIVIDE

posted Oct 24, 2011 9:28 AM by LoMA PA

Did you know...In the U.S. it is estimated  that 68% of families have home computers and broadband internet access while in Korea it is estimated that 90% of families do; this disparity is called the "Digital Divide". In an effort to bridge this gap, on Saturday, October 29th 10 am to 2 pm, the LoMA Parents Association  will be hosting our first ever Community Connect Laptop Fair for all Seward Park Campus Schools as well as the community at large.  Fully loaded laptops will be available for sale at a great price of $225. Come, get connected! 

 For more information see the flyer on our "Save the Date" page if your child has not already brought one home.

Did you know...?  LoMA uses engrade, an online grading  system (www.engrade.com) This school year, ALL core subject teachers (english, history, math and science) will be using it to record your child's grades. Engrade is easy to use and is an invaluable tool for monitoring student progress and connecting with their teachers.  By now your student has received the necessary access codes from his teachers to setup an engrade account.  This year, enhancements to the system have made it very easy for parents to create a separate parent account.
                                   1. login to engrade.com
                                   2. click on  "create account"
                                   3. system  will ask which type of account do you wish to create?
                                   4. if student already has account, click on "Student's Parent"
                                                     5.  if student does not have an account, click on "Student"
                                   6. follow the simple on screen instructions, and within minutes you will have access to your student's                                                                                                .                                           online report card in "real time"  


 More good news....for those of you that have  iphones or android cellular devices there are FREE engrade apps available!!!  Just go to the App Store or Android Marketplace download and install the the app on your phone, log in and you'll know what is going on all the time.

Remember, an ounce of prevention mixed with some early intervention will ensure the best positive outcomes for your student

Tip of the Week: School Meals

Did you know...  Both breakfast and lunch are offered FREE of cost to ALL  LoMA students.  Instead of giving your student "lunch money" each day place these funds in account for them to be used later to help defray costs associated with their  Senior/graduation fees and college related expenses.  This will serve both you and your student well in the future.
