Staying Connected at ITMMS
On behalf of our faculty and staff, allow me to thank you for your consistently strong support of our school and programs. May the resources below serve as another reminder of the importance of the home-school connection.
Dear Parents & Guardians,
I do hope that this note finds you and your family well. With the start of the school year, I thought it would be a good time to review some of the ways that you can continue to connect with our school and our many classrooms. Your support has led to a successful launch to the 2023-2024 school year, and we look forward to continuing to work together in the service of our students, school, and community. On behalf of our faculty and staff, allow me to thank you for your consistently strong support of our school and programs. May the resources below serve as another reminder of the importance of the home-school connection.
Accessing Grades & the Parent Portal
As many of you are aware, the school district no longer uses paper report cards. To gain access to your child's report card, parents must log-into our parent portal.
The technology department has created two videos to help our parents:
- The first video guides parents step by step to create a Parent Portal account - see below:
Island Trees Parent Portal Creation - The second video shows parents the various Parent Portal features, including test grades, attendance, and report cards - see the video below:
Island Trees Parent Portal Instructions
If you have questions about logging into the portal, please contact John Rezek, 7:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m. at 516-495-7730.
Grades & the Growth Mindset
As you visit the Parent Portal and review grades with your children, please be sure to review some of the Growth Mindset resources included below. These routine reviews provide an excellent opportunity for students, teachers, and families to examine the differences between a fixed mindset and a growth mindset. This discussion can also help to reboot a student who may feel as though he/she can never do well in a particular course.
If you have any additional ideas on how we might best support your child's progress, please do not hesitate to reach out to school leadership.
On behalf of Mrs. Steele and the entire Island Trees Memorial Middle School staff, I look with great excitement to the coming weeks and months and the opportunity to help your students grow in all ways.
Sincerely,
Mr. Keegan
Principal
