What's New at Faith?

Parent Laptop Training: Parent laptop training is now available every Wednesday from 8:30-3:30. Please call the school office (706.545.0310) at least one day in advance so we will know to expect you. If you need an alternate time, it can be arranged through the school office.

Access to student grades:
Our school is piloting a new electronic gradebook that includes the ability for parents to access student data, assignments and classroom progress via an online portal.  This parent portal is called MyDATA.  As soon as your account has been activated, you will receive two separate emails containing login information for you to access MyDATA.   One will be the username, the other will be the password.
If you do not receive these emails that is because we do not have your permission to create an account for you.  If you desire, you can give us permission by submitting a new DoDEA Form 700 to the school front office.  The DoDEA Form 700 can be downloaded at http://www.dodea.edu/myData/ .  Once returned to the school, an account will be created and the above mentioned emails with access information will be sent.  If you have already completed the new DoDEA Form 700 and have not received these emails, please contact our school office at 545-0310.
MyDATA training, FAQs and guides for can also be found at http://www.dodea.edu/myData/  You may also access the link through the MyData Button below.
We hope you find this new tool helpful as we all strive for better communication and up-to-date information in our shared goal of increased student achievement.
