Accessing Student Google Accounts from home:

To access student Google accounts from home students will need to have their username/lunch number and password. Their password should be a color, followed by an animal, followed by a two digit number (Redfox21) with the first letter being capitalized. If students do not know all of this, it can be accessed from myaccount.adams12.org. 

From the Westview Links Page, go to Google Apps, (http://googleapps.adams12.org/) and choose drive. This should direct you to the Adams 12 sign on page where they enter their student ID/ Lunch number and password. 

*If they go to gmail.com, then they will need to know their email address along with their student ID/lunch number and password. Their email would be First Initial of First Name, First 3 of Last Name, Day of Birth, The Last 4 digits of your student ID #.  Example for Mark Sanchez it would be msan146454 (Mark was born on the 14th. If he was born on the 3rd it would be msan36454 note we did not use the 0 in front of the 3) msan146454@adams12.org would be the complete email address. 

Fifth grade is a year of growth and transition.  In fifth grade, our mission is to prepare students for their futures in middle school and beyond.  In the long-term, we are developing skills to equip them to be life-long learners so they are better prepared for the real-world as adults.  Our goal is to make their learning experiences meaningful, engaging, and exciting. Curiosity and wonder will drive their exploration while current events provide the stage for purposeful discussion and discovery.  Students will learn to think critically and problem solve in collaborative teams. We encourage students to take risks and embrace their mistakes as opportunites for learning.  

The units of study 5th graders can look forward to in Science include Water Planet (the study of Earth, its resources and how it changes), Mixtures and Solutions (chemistry), and Body Systems.  In Social Studies, we focus on the history of the United States from the Native people who lived all throughout the country up through the American Revolution.
