Justiss students compete in national coding contest

Third and fourth graders at Justiss Elementary School are competing in the Learning.com Code-a-Thon this week. Students use Code Monkey to learn basic computer programming and coding which is an important skill for many technology careers. 

“Developing computational thinking skills and coding proficiency, as early as elementary school, accelerates students’ progress on the path to success in today’s digital world,” said Learning.com CEO Keith Oelrich. “Our Code-a-Thon contest provides a great way for teachers to engage their students with coding concepts even if they don’t have any prior experience teaching coding.”

Schools all across the country are competing. Students earn points for progressing through the lessons during the week of November 13-17, and for every 100 points earned, each class will receive one entry into the random drawing for 20 Chromebooks.

Quick Tip Information

Quick Tip is a support system that allows students to communicate with school administrators. While the district already has many programs to help students deal with challenges such as bullying behaviors, stress, peer pressure, and family problems, Quick Tip helps break the code of silence often experienced by students because it allows them to report concerns to administrators anonymously.

Submit from App
SchoolMessenger Quick Tip app is available for both iOS (iTunes App Store) and Android devices (Google Play). Download SchoolMessenger Quick Tip App. When launching the app for the first time, you will be prompted to enter the school district code. The school district code is paristx.

IMPORTANT NOTE: This is not a crisis line. In cases of emergency, the site will direct students to call 911!
