Lumen Parent & Student Portal
All parents should have received an email from the school with their individual username and password. Logging into this portal will allow parents to view students grades, monitor attendance, and update contact information. If you did not receive an email with this information, please contact the school office.
Canvas Digital Instruction Platform
Canvas will continue to serve as the main platform for digital instruction. Students will be expected to login and check this on a daily basis. It will also provide a safe platform for students to communicate with their teachers when not in class. Parents may also gain access to Canvas through the “Observer” portal. Click the button below to view directions on getting access.
I ask that you stay involved with your child’s schoolwork. Take time each day to ask them about classes, review graded assignments, and study for upcoming assessments. This is a great way to keep up with what is going on and show your child the importance of education.
