Leo High School

Principal’s Desk

Leo Jr/Sr High School completed the first grading period on Friday, October 9, 2020. Despite the coronavirus and the challenges, it has caused, the first nine weeks have been a success. We would like to take the time to thank our students, staff, parents and community for their support and cooperation. These are difficult times and having everybody’s support and cooperation is very vital to

the success of Leo Jr/Sr High School. We are anticipating another excellent academic school year!
Below are a few changes I would like to share with parents:

• EACS has a new student management system. The district switched from RDS to Skyward student management system. Parents can monitor student grades in Skyward by following the steps below:
  
  1. Go to www.eacs.k12.in.us
  2. Scroll down to the “Quick Links” on the right side of the screen and select “Skyward”.
  3. Log in using the username and password you chose when registering.
  4. You will see your “Family access screen”
  5. Under student name select “grading”
  6. To find out more information about a grade being earned, click in the letter grade to see scores on each assignment, quiz, test, etc.

  Our parents are accustomed to receiving a variety of information and services from our previous student management system, RDS. The EACS Technology Department is working diligently to make this transition from RDS to the Skyward Student Management System. Therefore, temporarily, some of the previous services from RDS may not be available. The new Skyward Student Management System will no longer provide parents and students with weekly progress reports. Parents and students can and should check Skyward regularly for grades.

• Remote Learning has been very successful for some of our students and not so successful for others. We encourage parents to continue monitoring remote learners. Students are expected to be visible on screen throughout the day each class period. The remote student’s day starts at 7:45 AM and ends at 2:55 PM. If students are having trouble logging in they should (1) email the teacher, (2) email the technology coach or (3) call the help desk @ 446-0257. It is very critical that remote students attend class virtually each day and communicate with their classroom teachers.

• Due to school safety, the pickup and drop off area during school in the south parking lot has been relocated. We would like for parents and other visitors to use the new visitor parking spaces located near the crosswalk entrance to the main office. During the school day, please do not pull up to the curb. This change will help improve school safety on the campus.

Leo Jr/Sr High School Staff and Administration are very proud of the students and community which we serve. During this pandemic you have been wonderful! You have given us all a great work environment to perform our jobs under these difficult circumstances. Our goal is to have a great school. We will continue to need your support. It is more important than ever before that the school, parents and community work collaboratively to make this school year a success.

Sincerely,

Dr. Neal Brown III
