ORIENTATION

On Wednesday, our Cougar Crew leaders welcomed over 640 incoming freshmen and transfer students to campus for orientation. Thanks to the efforts of our Cougar Crew leaders, our new students got to know each other and our campus through participating in community-building games and campus tours. Thank you to Dynasty/Royal, Cheer, Steele Regiment, Club Groove, Scratch + his team, ASB, the Class of 2030 GLT, and more for making this such a successful event!

Hey Cougars! ASB is putting on a Welcome Week, “Toy Story” edition for the first full week of school (8/10 - 8/14)! Make sure to participate all week to start your school year off the best way possible! Read more to learn about each day!

Parents as Observers on Canvas

Why Be a Canvas Observer?

Becoming a Canvas Observer allows parents to stay connected to their student's learning. They can see upcoming assignments, grades, feedback from teachers, and course announcements—all without interfering in the student’s work. It’s a great way to support your child, encourage good study habits, and celebrate their achievements in real time.

Most parents have had their emails already loaded into the system. Please follow the directions to log in:

1. Go to https://schscougars.instructure.com/login/canvas
2. User name is your email account
3. Password is: welcome2026

If your email is not part of the system or one of your students is missing, you can manually add them by following THESE DIRECTIONS.

GoGuardian Parent
GoGuardian Parent was created to help provide additional educational support to administrators and teachers by allowing parents to see what sites and documents their children are browsing and providing parents with additional internet controls at home. The app gives parents a bird's eye view of the apps and websites that their kids are on most often and control over school-issued devices during out-of-school hours. With this perspective, parents can be made aware of what types of browsing behavior schools are seeing from students so they can all work together to encourage more effective internet browsing habits at home and at school.
What is included in this app:

• Top 5 summary of student browsing (apps, extensions, documents, and websites visited)
• Teacher interventions
• 30-day view of websites, videos, documents, apps, and extensions
• Ability to block websites on school-issued devices during out-of-school hours
• Ability to pause internet access on school-issued devices during out-of-school hours, either on-demand or at a scheduled time

To access the app, please follow the below instructions:

1. Download the app. iPhone: Visit App Store, search for GoGuardian Parent, and tap the download button. Android: Visit Google Play Store, search for GoGuardian Parent, and tap the download button.
2. After the app is successfully downloaded and installed, open it up and enter the email address registered with the school. Note: If you forgot your registered email address, please reach out to your school administrator.
3. Login/Check Email: Check your email on your phone for a link to log in to the app. Tap the "Verify your email", and it will take you straight to the app. Note: If you don't have access to your email through the device you used to log in, tap on "Login with verification code", and copy and paste the verification code from the email into the app.

If you have any questions, you can reach us at helpdesk@schscougars.org

5Star Student Student IDs

In order to provide options for our students, Cougars can access their 5Star Student IDs by downloading the 5Star student app through the app store. (Apple Store or Google Play). These digital IDs can be used for cafeteria meal pick up, exiting campus, showing participation in club activities, etc. Physical student IDs are always an option as well.
