Grades, STI, and other info...

If you haven't had a chance to meet with me to get your STI (the grading system) pin number. This will allow you to access grades from home. You just need to sign off on the STI paperwork and I can give you directions and a code to get in to STI. I am now able to get STI from home to update grades. As many of you are aware, teachers have to do grading from home because our contract time is so limited we couldn't possibly get everything done in the "workday," with this same constraints please let me know if you can't meet during the day and need a conference to work with your workday. The most important thing is getting your child to be as successful as possible. Thanks so much for all your support. `Mrs. McP

Also, if you have trouble getting into STI I can email progress reports any time.

About Me

My photo
Taos, New Mexico, United States
My name is Hillary McPartlon. I am the teacher of the HANDS Program. H.A.N.D.S (Helping Academic Needs of Diverse Students) is a pilot program at Taos Middle School for 6th graders. It is designed for students who seek a challenging environment with a hands-on approach. Through multi-disciplinary learning, students will learn core academics, real-world challenges, and leadership skills. The HANDS Lab is for learners of all levels and backgrounds. The ultimate goal is to treat each student as an individual learner as part of a cooperative team.
