To leave a phone message for me, dial the school (576-6151) then my extension (8653) when prompted. I will return messages on my breaks or after school.
Remember school starts at 7:45. Please be on time. Thank you.

Extra Credit for this year:
This year I decided to focus my class extra credit for the year on learning the fifty states, their capitals, and where they are located. The extra credit activities are optional and will be completed at each student’s own pace. I have listed below the ten extra credit activities. When an activity has been completed successfully by a student, they will get to choose which subject they would like to apply the extra points to. If you aren’t successful the first time, you will be able to try again as many times as needed to successfully complete the activity. I do encourage every student to try the activities listed below. When each student is ready to complete an activity, they will need to let me know that they are ready, and I will complete the activity with them. I do ask that the activities are completed in the order they are listed below. If you have any questions about the extra credit assignments, please let me know.
Thanks,
Mrs. Burgess

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.
