Please check your child's progress and performance using our district's Home Access Center (HAC). This app allows parents and guardians to obtain their child's ongoing progress and performance for the quarter right as well as report card grades from their mobile phone. Most families use this but again we are resharing this for those who have not been checking their child's progress.
We hope that you join us on Friday, May 29th at 1:00 pm for our PV Stars End of the Year Car Parade on 5.29.2020 so we can celebrate our STARS and Debbie Youngman, one of our Kindergarten STEM teachers, who is retiring at the end of this school year.
All District issued Chromebooks and Charger will need to be returned. Where and when are listed below:
- 6/1, 6/2, 6/3
- Collection of devices at DIS 8 am-2:30 pm each day
- Back of Parma High – 6285 W54th Street DOOR #50 there is a sign in the grass outside so it's hard to miss!
