An open line of communication is an integral part of each student's success.
BELL Academy uses JupiterEd as its main messaging system. Each parent/ guardian has different communication needs. Whereas one parent/ guardian may be concerned with a test grade of 85%, another may worry about their student's progress in making up missing assignments after an absence. To ensure each parent/guardian receives the notifications they need and not the ones they don't, teachers enter grades (classwork, homework, quizzes, tests, projects, etc) in JupiterEd for parents and guardians to receive customized notifications on their own schedule.

Along with JupiterEd-- which is primarily grade-based, BELL Academy also utilizes ClassDojo to let parents and guardians know about their student's classroom behaviors. Does your student help others? Call out? Participate often? ClassDojo is an easy and effective way to keep track of your student's classroom behaviors across multiple subjects.
In addition to classroom behaviors, I am also using Class Dojo to showcase student Newsletter articles each week.
If you are concerned about the grades you are seeing on Jupiter or the behaviors you see on Class Dojo and have more questions, please contact the teachers via JupiterEd. Here is the link.
