Fall Open House
Please read the announcements below for more details.
Progress Grades
Last Friday, Progress Grades were posted for Quarter 1. These grades are just a snapshot of your students' grades on the day the teacher posted them. These grades are posted in Infinite Campus but are not posted to transcripts. If you have specific questions about your student's grade, please log into your parent Canvas account for up to date information.

Art Project at Blended Learning
This week at Blended Learning, we had a guest art teacher lead students in a lesson to create mushroom clay houses. I hope you were able to see the amazing creations when students came home yesterday!
Attendance Update
Due to a change in the district's attendance messaging system, the automated attendance calls have not been sending. Please make sure you are logging into Infinite Campus to check students attendance. As a reminder, at eDCSD, we only take attendance once a week for the whole week, Wednesday - Tuesday. If a student shows an absence in a class, this means the student did not complete any work the whole previous week, equaling 5 days of class.

Community Service Opportunities
Dougnad - Volunteer Opportunities for Students
Douglas County is seeking students to participate in various cleanup activities countywide. These opportunities are open to all Douglas County community members, however, they are also a great way for students to earn some volunteer hours.
Saturday, September 28
9:00 am - noon
“Dugnad” is a custom of communal work in Norway that dates back centuries. Today, it has come to mean unpaid voluntary work done in a group for local, national or international causes. In urban areas, dugnad is generally associated with outdoor cleaning and gardening.
