Dr. B's Lunch Lines
USDA is an equal opportunity provider and employer.
Feature of the month is a new Harvestland all beef hot dog, antibiotic and hormone free and with no additives. It tested very well last month, and we think it a good selection. As always, we are continuously striving to improve, and your feedback is welcome.
Ingredients: Beef, water, contains less than 2% of the following: allspice, celery juice powder, evaporated corn syrup, garlic powder, ginger, honey, lactic acid starter culture, mustard, nutmeg, onion powder, paprika, pepper, sea salt. New Dietary Guidelines for Health: Every 5 years the Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee (DGAC) puts out new recommendations for eating in the United States. Americans still do not eat enough fruit, whole grains and vegetables. The DGAC recommends a diet pattern high in vegetables, fruits, whole grains, low fat dairy, seafood, legumes and nuts; lower in red and processed meats, low in added sugars, refined grains, saturated fats and sodium. For the first time, the Committee recommends a meal pattern rather than focusing on single nutrients.

Dear Parents,
As we come close to the end of the school year, it is very important that you stay on
top of your child(s) lunch account for any “Low” or “Negative” balances. It is our goal
to end the school year with a balance of $0.00 dollars. Any funds left on the account
will roll-over to the 2015-2016 school year. As we give notes to your child to take
home, sometimes these notes get lost or thrown away. Please ask your child on a
weekly basis if they have enough funds in their account to get them through the end
of the school year. ANY ACCOUNTS with a NEGATIVE BALANCE will limit the student
to have access to some of the cafeteria items offered. You may check the status of
your child’s account by going https://www.myschoolbucks.com/ and follow the easy
step-by-step instructions on the screen.
You may pay your child’s account in 3 ways:
By via the internet at https://www.myschoolbucks.com/
Or
Send cash with the student. If you send cash inside an envelope, make sure the
student’s name or student ID # is written.
Or
Send check written out to “County of Loudoun.” On the memo section of the check,
please write in the student ID #.
**If you have any questions or concerns regarding your child’s lunch account, please
contact Luis Renteria, the cafeteria manager at 571-252-2253.
Phoenix Grade Book
Parent Portal and ParentVUE
September 2015 – It’s a new school year and a new Parent Grade Portal:
For the 2015 school year, all teachers will transition from using the CLARITY gradebook to the Phoenix
Grade Book to enter student grades. Parents will also transition to a new (and improved) parent portal
called ‘ParentVUE’.
Parent Portal Highlights:

The purpose of an academic parent portal is to provide parents with near real-time access to
information on assignments and grades, attendance, class schedules, graduation status and more.

ParentVue offers a single sign-on to view school information for all siblings, regardless of the grade
level or school of attendance.

ParentVUE is available as a mobile app or via the web-based parent portal accessed on any internet
enabled device.

Parents can review and update contact information (phone numbers and email addresses),
eliminating the current Parent Information Management System (PIMS).

Easy access to communication tools throughout the various ParentVUE screens promotes the
contact between home and school that is necessary for student success. Parents can elect to
receive customized email alert notifications regarding timely issues, such as school events, or
attendance.

Parents can elect to go paperless with report cards.

While the website is accessible over the Internet, access is secured via a user name and password.
Parents can see information about their children, only, and cannot see the records of other
students.
To view the FAQs page, go to http://www.lcps.org/Page/150204 on any internet enabled device.
Libreta de calificaciones Phoenix
Portal para padres y ParentVUE
Septiembre de 2015 - Llegó el nuevo ciclo lectivo y con él un nuevo Portal de calificaciones para
los padres:
Para el ciclo lectivo 2015, todos los maestros dejarán de usar de libreta de calificaciones CLARITY y
pasarán a usar la libreta Phoenix para ingresar las notas de sus alumnos. Los padres también cambiarán
a un nuevo (y mejorado) portal, llamado ‘ParentVUE’.
Elementos destacados del Portal para padres:

El propósito de un portal académico para los padres es proporcionarles acceso a información casi
en tiempo real sobre las tareas, las calificaciones, la asistencia, el cronograma de clases, la
situación de los alumnos para la graduación y más.

ParentVUE ofrece un ingreso único para acceder a la información escolar de todos los hermanos,
independientemente del grado que estén cursando y en qué escuela lo hagan.

ParentVUE está disponible como aplicación para teléfonos móviles o a través del portal para
padres en la Red, al que puede accederse desde cualquier dispositivo conectado a Internet.

Los padres pueden revisar y actualizar su información de contacto (números de teléfono y
direcciones de correo electrónico), con lo cual se elimina el actual Sistema de Gestión de
Información para Padres (PIMS, por su sigla en inglés).

El fácil acceso a herramientas de comunicación en las distintas pantallas de ParentVUE
favorece el contacto entre los hogares y la escuela, necesario para el éxito de los estudiantes.
Los padres pueden optar por recibir notificaciones personalizadas por correo electrónico sobre
cuestiones oportunas, como los eventos escolares y la asistencia.

Los padres pueden optar por recibir el boletín de calificaciones en forma digital en vez de en papel.
 Se puede acceder al sitio web a través de Internet y el ingreso está protegido con un nombre de
usuario y una contraseña. Los padres solo pueden ver la información de sus hijos y no tienen
acceso a los registros de otros alumnos.
