Parents can check child's grades on the Web
Internet program allows for monitoring student's progress
Livingston's middle and high schools have a new Internet-based program that allows parents to track their child's grades and attendance as often as they like. Parents can go to the Livingston ISD Web site, click on the "Grades from Home" link and then "VSI" prompts, and type in an assigned user name and password. They're then able to check out how well their child is doing in class ... or whether they made it there on time or at all. "This is a really powerful tool to enhance the important relationship between parents and student success at school," said Livingston ISD Superintendent, Dr. Darrell Myers. "... It's a tremendous opportunity for parents to keep track of their child's achievement and attendance." Christy Cross, Livingston Intermediate principal, described the VSI program as a "great communications tool," and says that many parents will be excited about the opportunity to keep a close track on their student’s progress. Livingston ISD parents will receive log-in information in their child’s first progress report of the school year which should be arriving in the mail soon. You may also visit www.livingstonisd.com to find more information about the program. The website for on-line grade reporting is www.lisdstudentinfo.com. (*Note: Attendance reports for the first three weeks of school are reported by hand as opposed to computer, therefore attendance reports on-line may not reflect actual absences at this time.) Web Link will be available Wednesday morning, September 19, 2007.

LJH FCCLA Off to a Good Start
Submitted by Sally Carlton, Livingston Junior High School  

LJH FCCLA meets every Friday morning in the LJH Family and Consumer Science Room. The first meeting of the year was led by Ashley Gates and Jenel Chiounard. 22 members attended this meeting. We discussed Red Ribbon Week activities and decided to collect items for the soldiers in Iraq. The second meeting of the year was started by Christina Wideman. We had 24 members attend and we discussed Red Ribbon week themes and decided to collect box tops for education to donate to the elementary schools.
