Attendance:
PIN reports student attendance up to the previous school day.  So, if it is Tuesday, August 24, 2010; PIN will reflect the attendance up to Monday, August 23, 2010.

Grades:
PIN is not a real-time view of your child’s grades. It is a past view of the teacher’s gradebook. Just what does this mean?  Every Tuesday and Thursday @ 4:00 pm P.I.N captures exactly what is in the teacher’s gradebook. This process works over night and the results are displayed the next day (every Wednesday and Friday) at approximately 9:00 am.  So, by the time you see what is displayed on PIN you are actually looking at the grades as of 4:00 pm the previous day. Please understand this is all a technical process. PIN does not have any control over whether the teacher has updated grades in the gradebook. PIN will display exactly what is in the gradebook at the time of capture.

Registration:
Parents, to have access to PIN, you must complete the online registration form found here. Please bring the form along with your driver’s license to the media center between 7:30 am – 2:20 pm on school days. Only Parents/Guardians that are on record within our student information system will be granted access. If in doubt about your status, please call 407-746-3450 before coming to the school. There will be a special registration held at 6 pm in the media center before open house.

Teacher Responsibility:
Teachers play a large role in the success of PIN. Teachers are required to update their computer gradebooks a minimum of once per week during the school year.

For PIN to operate successfully teachers must do the following:

1.       Ensure grades are updated regularly

2.       Ensure that date assigned and due dates are put into the gradebook

3.       Ensure that the correct current average is selected and displayed in the gradebook

4.       Take attendance daily

Teachers may elect to sign up for a PIN account to verify the results of the gradebook and PIN.  Additionally, teachers may also elect to email progress reports to parents through the gradebook.  Please be aware that your child’s teacher will need your email address.  Open House might be a good opportunity to provide your email address to your child’s teacher.

School Tech Responsibility:
One role of the school’s Technology Facilitator (ETF) is to ensure that teachers have adequate gradebook support.  The ETF will train and assist teachers with gradebooks and PIN as needed.   The ETF will also post important information about PIN onto the school’s website.  Additionally, the ETF will send a gentle nudge to teachers that have not updated gradebooks within the specified time frame.

School Administrator Responsibility:
Your child’s administrator will periodically review lists of gradebooks that have not been updated regularly.

Attention Seniors: College reps from all over the country and Florida will visit our campus throughout the year. The following reps are coming to Lake Brantley over the next couple of weeks: SMU, Mercer, Northeastern, Florida International, University of Alabama, University of Florida, Elon, Rollins and UCF.

Wow! The start of the new school year is just around the corner and we are so excited to have a new class of freshmen. Welcome Class of 2014! To introduce you to your new home we invite you to our one of a kind “Link Crew Freshmen Orientation“. This is not the typical orientation where you sit and listen to talking heads drone on about things that…well let me not go there. No! There is a definite place for that but this is just not it. That’ll come later. This orientation is about:

• Making connections that will get you through freshmen year
• Learning the ends and out of navigating the slippery slope called high school
• Learning life skills that we hope you will take to heart
• Most of all its about fun, fun, and more fun!

Parents we don’t leave you out of the mix either. We have a special program intended just for you. At the same time you drop your new high school student off at the Gym. You will head to the auditorium for our Breakfast at Brantley presentation sponsored by the LBHS PTSA. There you will learn about the Lake Brantley experience from other parents. School officials will be on hand for a while so I’m sure everything that you want to know about Lake Brantley High School will be addressed in one way or another.

Now here’s the hard part.  If you haven’t done so already you need to register for both the PTSA “Breakfast at Brantley” and the “Link Crew Freshmen Orientation“.  If you would like to make a small or large tax deductible donation to Link Crew please click here.  That wasn’t so painful, was it?
