This is a time to hear about how we schedule students, potential choices your student has, and ask questions.
Mrs. Erter will be going into classes to share information with students as well. If you cannot attend, we will post the presentation online later.
Our goal is for students to return schedule request forms prior to Spring Break the following week.
Spring 2022 DC Trip Final Mtg Date 4/20
GMS/GHS Adjusted Grading Scale
(10pt scale)

Progress Book Mobile App
Frontline Education has released the new ProgressBook Parent and Student Mobile App (aka ParentAccess app) to the Google Play Store and Apple App Store. This long-awaited app is available for your parents/students to download and use now. For those that choose to download, the app takes the place of the mobile web version of ParentAccess that parents and students have long used. In addition, Frontline has produced an overview video that can be shared with your users (video link is also in the attached instructional sheet).
