Student Sexual Harassment Parent LetterSeptember 6, 2011 Re: Student Sexual Harassment Training Dear Parent/Guardian, In accordance with Board Policy JAEB, Marietta City Schools’ staff will be conducting the subject training for students in grades PreK - 12. Sexual harassment of students is illegal. A federal law, Amendments of 1972 sexual harassment, in education programs and activities. All public and private education institutions that receive any federal funds students from harassment connected to any of the academic, educational, extracurricular, athletic, and other programs or activities of schools, regardless of the location. Title IX of the Education(Title IX), prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex, includingmust comply with Title IX. Title IX protectsTitle IXprotects both male and female students from sexual harassment by any school employee, another student, and a non-employee third party. Preventing and remedying sexual harassment in schools is essential to ensure a nondiscriminatory, safe environment in which students can learn. Unfortunately, students, parents, and school staff may not know what sexual harassment is, how to stop it, and what can be done to prevent it from happening. This training will use a PowerPoint presentation to provide students, parents, school administrators, school employees, and others with fundamental information on recognizing and addressing sexual harassment under Education’s Office for Civil Rights (OCR). OCR is the federal agency responsible for enforcing Education.

Using the Aspen Parent PortalDear MCS Parents/guardians: Marietta City Schools (MCS) parents/guardians will soon have access to a new program to view their child's grades and attendance. Aspen, the new MCS student information system provides a parent support feature: "Aspen Family Portal" that replaces i-Parent, the former grades and attendance program for parents.
Our teachers have received training on Aspen's electronic grade book feature, and are entering grades in the new system so parents/guardians will be able to view assignments, grades and attendance.
As with any new software implementation there are requirements that need to be met before the product is fully functional. Among these are security and data compliance that we require prior to final production rollout. Our goal, first and foremost is to ensure a safe, secure data environment for our student information, and we are nearing completion of this implementation phase.
We are very excited about our new Aspen student information system. In the interim, we recommend that parents/guardians familiarize themselves with the Aspen Family Portal by visiting our Web site and downloading the "Using the Aspen Family Portal" manual.
Thank you for your patience as we work to complete the implementation phase. More details will be sent home soon regarding the Aspen Family Portal, including information about username and password to access the portal. In the meantime, if you have any concerns regarding your child’s grades, feel free to contact your child’s school or teacher for further assistance.
Sincerely,
