Grade Updates:

Students and parents are encouraged to check grades regularly using the Internet to access PowerSchool. Instructions to access PowerSchool are included in a letter in the student packet given during registration. If you misplace this letter, you may request this information by calling the school secretary during school hours. 436-8206. If you do not have Internet access at home, parents and students may use the computers in the school library and print grades or you may request a grade print out from the school secretary.

Assignments due to absence:

may be requested from the office if a student is absent more than two days. Please call the office 24 hours before you plan to pick up the assignments in order to allow time for secretaries to contact teachers and collect assignments. Students are responsible to make up assignments given while the student is absent from school.

Quarter Grade Reports:

are given to students to take home at the end of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd quarters. Grade reports are mailed home at the end of 4th quarter. Parents may request a grade report from the secretary in the school office any time during the school year.
