** If your child is leaving school in a different way than normal, we need a note from you letting us know of the change in transportation. Thanks.
To leave a phone message for me, dial the school (576-6151) then my extension (8610) when prompted. I will return messages on my breaks or after school.
Remember school starts at 7:45. Please be on time. Thank you.
Please remember to be sending in you box tops. Remember this helps to reaise money for our school.
To access Odyssey from home just do the following:
1. log into http:hera.spartanburg6.k12.sc.us or you may access the site from the RES Home Page thru the Odyssey At Home link
2. From the Odyssey home page fill in your child's name and password
3. Your child's name should be put in with their last name first and their first name last. One space between last and first name, capitalizing only the first letter of each name. For example: Dawson Lisa. Be sure to only use one space between the names. Also, be sure to not put a space before the last name. Roebuck Eagles are familiar with the spacing rules.
4. The password is your child's birthday. Please use the following format: 8/27/1998. Do not put in zeros, for example: 08/27/1998 will not allow your child access.
5. The school code is RES.
6. Once you enter your child's page, you may look at recent activities, scores and homework assignments that are open for your child to do.
7. To work from home, please click on the assignment tab, open the assignment by clicking on the blue details button to open the folder. All of the assignments will list on the screen. Click on an assignment you would like to do for practice and start soaring in Odyssey.
HAVE A GREAT WEEK!!! ~MRS. MCNEILL
