Hello!

In my class, your student is learning computer science on Code.org, a fun, creative platform for learning computer science
and basic coding to create interactive animations, games, or apps. Your interest in what your child is learning is critical,
and Code.org makes it easy to stay involved.

Step 1 - Encourage your child, show interest in computer science


One of the best ways is to ask your child to explain what they’re learning and show you a project they are proud of, see
details. Or watch one of these videos together.

Step 2 - Get your child set up to use Code.org at home


Our class uses picture passwords to sign in. To have your student sign in to Code.org at home, do the following:

1. Go to https://studio.code.org/sections/JNGZXQ and click on their name

2. Click on their picture password and then click 'Sign in'


3. If your student does not remember their picture password, please email me and I will provide it

At the top of their homepage, your student can continue the course they are doing with their classroom at school. They
can also create their own games or artwork in the Project Gallery or check out code.org/athome for ideas for things to work
on at home.

Step 3 - Connect your email to your student's account


Keep up to date with what your student is working on and receive updates from Code.org. Have your child sign in to
Code.org and then enter your email in Account Settings or click here.

Why computer science


Six different studies show: children who study computer science perform better in other subjects, excel at problem solving,
and are 17% more likely to attend college. Computer science teaches students critical thinking, problem solving, and
digital citizenship, and benefits all students, no matter what opportunities they pursue in the future. And learning to make
interactive animations, code-art, games, and apps on Code.org encourages creativity and makes learning fun.

Code.org's commitment to student privacy


Code.org assigns utmost importance to student safety and security. Code.org has signed the Student Privacy Pledge and
their privacy practices have received one of the highest overall scores from Common Sense Media. You can find further
details by viewing Code.org's Privacy Policy.

Please let me know if you have any questions and thank you for your continued support of your child and of our
classroom!
