Parents/Guardians please make sure your student is enrolled in the learning style you selected. If you would like to change the learning style, please email us at tuvak12@tusd1.org
NEW Time Tracker for Self-Scheduled Students
Any hours spent outside of Apex that is school related can now be recorded using the Time-Tracker in ParentVUE.
Example: The student does 2 hours of online research for an essay while they were not logged-in into their school account, those hours can be added by the Parent/Guardian using the Time Tracker.
Did you know you can now report absences on ParentVUE?
