The only exception will be a sports ball for recess. All personal items are the student’s responsibility and if used inappropriately they may not be allowed to bring a sports ball in the future.

What is standards-based grading? What do my student's grades mean?
What is standards-based grading? What do my student's grades mean?
In Denton ISD we follow a standards-based grading system in elementary. It reports a child’s progress toward meeting state and district standards in areas of content and performance. It gives specific information on a student’s level of proficiency on a given standard. The goal is for your student to be a "3" for each standard by the end of the year.
Report Card Grades:
1 = Beginning
2 = Progressing
3 = Independently Demonstrate Mastery of Standard (goal)
4 = Advanced Understanding of Standard (not common)

What is the SSO Classlink Portal and why is it important?
What is the SSO Classlink Portal and why is it important?
The SSO is Denton ISD's Single Sign-On portal and is one location where students can access all apps and websites connected to their account as a student. Students will almost always start at the SSO.
>>>> Look at this >>>> About the SSO
Once they input their username and password to login they will be automatically signed into other apps with one click of a button. Using the SSO to login prevents most issues students may have accessing their accounts.
Students will be assigned a username and password at the beginning of the year and we suggest writing it down in a safe place.
There are several ways to find the SSO:
Go to the Denton ISD Home Page
Click the heading at the top that says DISD SSO Portal
Students enter the same username and password we use in class.
Alternately, do a google search for Denton ISD SSO
Finally, click here to access the SSO
