Lowell Scott Newsletter
February 2, 2024
Lowell Scott Middle School will participate in the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) on Monday, February 12, 2024. If your child has been selected to take a mathematics or reading assessment on that day you should have already received notification in your email.
The questions on this assessment provide valuable information about their progress in that subject area. The information collected is used for statistical purposes only.
Counselors will begin class registrtion fot the 2024-2025 school year with students starting on February 5th! Some important things to note:
- Registration is a two-step process - your student(s) will be bringing home a paper registration form that needs to be filled out and returned to their Advisory teacher by Tuesday, February 13th.
- Students will also need to login to Class Choice (which can bee accessed via their PowerSchool portal) to complete their registration by selecting their preferred electives and alternate elective options. ** Please note, all attempts will be made to place students in their preferred electives and/or alternates. However, due to class sizes and section availability, students may be placed in an elective chosen by the scheduling team.**
- Class Choice registration will close at 4:00 pm on Thursday, February 15th so all selections need to be made by that time.
Attendance
Please call the office when your student is late or staying home from school. Doctor/dentist/orthodontist/counselor notes will waive absences so they do not count against the number of absences your child has. Please turn in those notes to the attendance secretary, or ask your provider to fax the school excuse note to 208-350-4074.
We have a large number of students with recurring appointments who check out of school. Due to the large volume, it is more difficult to keep track of attendance without a note each visit. Please ask your provider for a school excuse note each time your child visits a dentist, doctor, orthodontist, counselor, etc. so we can be sure to keep accurate attendance records.
We appreciate your assistance.
PowerSchool
PowerSchool is your access to your students' grades, assignments, attendance records, and standardized test scores. It is also a tool that
parents use to update demographic information as well as your student's medical information. If you are having difficulty accessing your account or need to create an account, please contact the office at 208-350-4060.
