PowerSchool & Grades
Please get on PowerSchool to check your student's grades. We have 5 weeks left until end of the semester. We want to ensure students are passing their classes and getting credit. We need your help to ensure they are working to get missing work in and or studying for assessments/exams. IF you need a portal letter for your child to get into PowerSchool call the front office and ask for one.
