Things to consider when reviewing student grades

• Be careful not to overreact. The information posted online shows only those assignments which have been recorded so far. Ongoing assessments may raise or lower a grade prior to the conclusion of the grading period.
• Different courses and instructors have varying systems for evaluating work, calculating and reporting grades. If you need clarification/details on how a specific course calculates a grade, please email the teacher. 
• Online updates will vary from class to class. All online grades will be up to date at the designated report card posting date. 

How to Sign Up

Go to any of the District's buildings to sign up. Please bring a photo ID with you at the time of sign-up.

• Parents must comply with the District’s end user agreement as well as security requirements to assure the confidentiality and accuracy of the information provided in the portal.
• Qualifications must be met by usernames and passwords, such as character length and password strength.
• Each parent and/or guardian of each household should have their own individual account rather than one household account.
• The accuracy of the information in the portal is a shared responsibility of the district, parents/guardians and students.
• Time frames with regard to attendance and grade information will be made available.
• The district agrees to provide free and the most accurate student information.
