PARENT ACCESS TO STUDENT GRADES

As we move toward the Schoology platform for hosting class information and grades, please know that the Schoology team here is working diligently to get parents access to their student's information online. Parents will receive information via a school communication next week regarding access instructions for Schoology. For right now, the best source of information regarding student grades remains the student Schoology account. If you have specific concerns regarding a class, please do not hesitate to email the teacher of the class. Thank you for your patience!
