Computer-Based Learning Opportunities

Great News!!!  Compass Odyssey is now available for your child to use!
 
Our district has chosen to use Compass Learning Odyssey®, a Web-based curriculum, to enhance your child’s educational experience. The Odyssey program offers a customized learning program for your child. The targeted instruction is aligned with state and national standards while a variety of instructional approaches facilitate differentiated instruction to meet the needs of your child.  You and your child have immediate access to the progress report that is located in the "backpack" icon.  This is a great opportunity for your child to extend the learning time while keeping him/her engaged, entertained, and receptive to learning.

In ELA, students can earn a Compliment Coupon for every three activities that they complete at home.  In order to receive credit, they need to print out the reports for each activity they finish. 
 
Your child should know his or her username and password, which is the same log-on used to access any computer at school.  Also, it should be written in their planner.  Either way, I'm including the formula here.
 
Username: same as the school username/ lower case s + their eight-digit student ID# without any spaces
 
Password:  same as the school password/ capital letter of their first name, two-digit day of birth, lowercase letter of their last name and last four of their social security number.

The activities are assigned and ready to go, so have fun learning!  I'll be checking in to see their progress.
  Spread the word and encourage your kiddos to log-on to begin having fun while learning, too!   I'll be checking in each week to monitor their progress.  Thanks for your support.
 
Please let me know if you have any questions or need help with the program.
 
Thanks for your support.
