Good Morning Cherokees!
It’s January 8th, 2025
From the desk of Mrs. Sekula
As a district we will be moving toward a single sign-on with google for Skyward. All students and staff will be using this sign-on format moving forward.
Thursday morning at 7:50 am, directly after announcements, we will have all students (and staff if you did not attempt prior) sign-on to skyward using this new format.
You may attempt to sign-on beforehand so that you can facilitate this in your classroom. FYI: If you have children that attend East Porter and you use your work email as a contact, you may see that you are unable to log in. Angela stated that your email address within your parent contact information will need to be changed to a personal email.
Once you have completed this within your classroom, please fill out this form. Any individual that uses skyward will need to attempt this by Thursday. If you have any students that are absent, please make sure to have them complete the sign-on once they return.
Please let me know if you have any questions. If you are unable to sign-on, please document this on the form provided.
Attention Seniors: Doug Kingsley will be here January 14th to measure for caps and gowns for graduation. It will be the 1st hour and we will call you down to the cafeteria.
Only if we have a snow day or he is not able to get here, then it will be on the 15th.
FCA is hosting a personal care kit drive for Lutheran Church and we need your help! We are collecting bath towels, toothbrushes, bars of soap and combs from now until January 31st.
