SECOND PROGRESS REPORTS AVAILABLE |
|
High school families: Progress reports for the second six weeks of the spring semester will be available to students and parents in Aeries beginning today, Friday, April 23, around 1 p.m.
The Aeries portal provides students and parents with progress reports every six weeks. Over time, a student’s official report card or transcript is built in Aeries, made up of semester grades. CSArts-SGV does not mail home progress reports, but they are viewable 24/7 to high school students and parents in the Aeries portal at familysis.sgv.csarts.net. If you do not yet have an Aeries account or have forgotten your password, please contact CSArts-SGV Tech Support at techsupport@csarts.net.
Schoology, in comparison, provides day-to-day and week-to-week assignments, updates, and grades. The most recent grades are those in Schoology, for both middle and high school students. Teachers also leave more detailed feedback and comments on students' grades in Schoology, so please check there first when you have questions or concerns. Please direct questions regarding grades to the specific teacher. If you have not signed up for Schoology, please contact Assistant Principal Nicole Read at nicole.read@sgv.csarts.net to attain your parent access code. Instructions for creating a Schoology account are located on our website here.
Middle school families: CSArts-SGV conservatory progress report grades will soon be available on your DUSD Aeries portal for viewing. Keep an eye out for a post on Schoology from Nicole Read when they are live. Your Aeries portal at your academic institution will be the place to view your official transcripts.

Attention Hybrid/In-Person Learning Model families: Following our first week of in-person instruction, we have decided to make a few adjustments to the morning drop-off procedures. Beginning Tuesday, April 27, we ask that students enter campus via two gates instead of four when checking in each morning. Please refer to the maps provided in yesterday’s email to confirm which gates your student should use in the mornings and afternoons. There have been no changes to afternoon pick-up gate assignments.

FREE PRACTICE SAT/ACT EXAMS |
|
CSArts-SGV is partnering with Revolution Prep to provide our students with the opportunity to practice taking college admissions exams for free, while remaining safely at home. A proctored practice exam is the best way to get a real-time snapshot of testing performance in order to create a testing plan and timeline.
Why take a practice exam? Although many colleges and universities are currently test optional, some students are pursuing SAT or ACT scores to strengthen their applications, to qualify for scholarships, and to understand their academic strengths and weaknesses. By taking a free Practice ACT and/or SAT exam, students can determine which exam(s) they are best suited for. Taking a mock exam is also a great way to determine if taking an official exam is right for you.
The free remote practice exams will be administered on Saturday, May 22 and Saturday, May 29 from 9 a.m.-1 p.m. You may choose to take either the Practice SAT or Practice ACT for each administration date. Please click here to register. The deadline to register is the Thursday prior to each exam date. Materials and instructions will be emailed to students 24 hours before the exams.
