New school calendar

Important information about the cafeteria/lunches: Students will NOT be able to use the microwaves at school this year. There will also be limited a la carte items (extras). Lunches will be prepackaged for sanitary reasons.

Dear Brown-Barge families,

Our district continues its journey to make our schools the best places for students to learn, staff to work, and parents to send their children for a good education. In this effort, we appreciate your support. It is important to gather feedback from you to celebrate successes and identify areas for growth. Please take a few minutes and complete this Parent Satisfaction Survey to help provide this feedback.

Once the survey is complete, the results will be analyzed by an outside organization. The data from the survey will be sent to each school and the Superintendent. Then, the results of the survey will be shared with parents and the community.

The survey can be accessed through April 22 online at: ECSD Parent Satisfaction Survey or on your mobile device with the attached QR code.

This has been an unprecedented time for everyone, though we are making it TOGETHER!

Thank you for interest in and support of your child’s education with us. Please contact me if you have any questions concerning the survey.

Joe Snyder, Proud Principal of BBMS

The ECSD Information Technology Department has created a series of instructional videos to assist parents in accessing and learning the new features and settings available in the Focus™ Parent Portal Account program. The videos offered at this link include:

1.    FOCUS™ for Parents: Why You Need A Parent Account

2.    FOCUS™ for Parents: How to Create A Parent Online Account

3.    FOCUS™ for Parents - Version 10 Updates

There are also written instructions available: Focus™ Parent Portal: Create a New Online Account.  Parents signing up for the first time will want to gather some necessary information (the list is also available on this page). 

Parents will need to know:

1.    A valid email address

2.    Your child’s date of birth

3.    Your child’s 6-digit ECSD student ID number

4.    The last four digits of your child’s Social Security Number

A Parent Portal Account will also allow parents of multiple school-aged children to navigate from one child’s information page to another, without having to log out in-between.

ECSD Families App

Once parents have established their Focus™ Parent Portal account and password, they can also access their child’s information by using a mobile device and downloading the ECSD Families App. This free app is available in the Apple App Store, or on the Google Play store for Android phones.  The icon graphic is an apple wearing a graduation cap.

Can't find grades in FOCUS?

For Math and Encore, please make sure you have selected the correct grading period (Quarter 3, for example) in the upper right hand section of the gradebook.

Stream grades are not found in FOCUS. Please see your student's planner. They should be writing their grades down on the light beige evaluation cards as their work is returned to them.
