Khan Academy
Just in case you have never heard of it, a great (FREE - Yes, 100% FREE) online learning and education system called Khan Academy is a great way to keep your students sharp and focused on learning. 

You can sign up and start using it right away - including on mobile devices (iPhone, iPad, Android, etc). The service is 100% free, and you can even help your child (or other children) by adding yourself as a "coach".  It helps you track progress on what they are learning. Give it a try and let us know if you find it useful.




Update: eSCRIP & SCRIP

Please take a moment to do read through on how to use SCRIP to help our school raise funds without your having to raise a finger.
  • eSCRIP - Click a link before you buy online, and Smith Elementary will receive proceeds (without tracking you as an individual) on every purchase you make. This includes retailers like Amazon, Best Buy, GAP, Wal-Mart and many more!
  • SCRIP - Using SCRIP is easy; you shop at a grocery store for food and instead of using cash/check, you pay with a SCRIP cash card you bought previously from the Smith PTA. If you buy a $50, $100, $200 SCRIP card, we can earn anywhere from $1, $2, or $5 per card. This can really add up over the amount of families at Smith, and amount of groceries you buy.  The same applies to dining out, you buy a SCRIP card for the restaurant you like and use it like cash - our school receives a portion of the card purchase price.

Still not sure how SCRIP works? Learn more about SCRIP and eSCRIP
