HAC (Home Access Center for grades)
Please be sure to check out the HAC system. This system is designed for parents and students to keep a close eye on grades at any point. If you notice that their is a blank (missing grade), please understand that the grade as NOT been entered yet. This DOES NOT mean there is a zero for that grade. If a student has earned a zero, a "0" will be entered next to the assignment's name. A zero will be removed when the student completes the assignment and the teacher has taken time to grade/enter the grade on the computer.
