Semester 2 & Final Grade Updates
- Students are required to complete at least two out of three modules on Apex and/or Canvas.
- There will be a hard deadline of June 10 for module completion. Students who complete three out of three modules will receive a ten point grade bump. Students will not be eligible for the 10 point grade bump after June 10.
- If students do not complete the required modules, their final grade will appear with an asterisk. Students will have to complete the modules in the future, whether it is this summer or into the fall. Module completion is required so that the asterisk can be removed and the student can receive credit for the course.
- If a student was failing as of 3/13, they will fail the course and will need to repeat it. There is a liberal withdrawal policy in place. Please contact your child's counselor if you would like them to take advantage of the course withdrawal.
PowerSchool Enrollment Update
PowerSchool Enrollment - Online Returning Student Data Verification will open in June.
Parents of returning students must access the PowerSchool Enrollment online forms through the PowerSchool Parent Portal at https://ps.mpark.net/public. The online forms contain demographic and emergency information you entered last year. During this process, you will verify the information is accurate or update any information that has changed. Parents will also electronically sign annual agreement forms for school district policies.
At least one parent is required to create a PowerSchool Parent Portal account. If you have multiple children in Manassas Park City Schools, you must verify information for each student, however only one parent account is necessary.
· If you have created a PowerSchool Parent Portal account in a previous school year, please use that account to log in. Please do not create a new account.
· If you have not created a PowerSchool parent account, directions can be found at http://www.mpark.net/parents/directions-for-parent-portal.
If you have questions about your account, please contact your child’s school for assistance.
In preparation for the June opening and to make the process as smooth as possible, please login to verify your existing PowerSchool Parent Portal account or create a new PowerSchool Parent Portal account if not already created prior to the end of the 2019-2020 school year.
Yearbook Ordering is still open!
Dear MPHS students and parents,
If you haven’t yet bought your yearbook, please do so now! Online ordering is still open. Simply visit yearbookordercenter.com and enter order #13565. We will schedule a distribution day once the books arrive this month and all who have pre-ordered their books will be able to collect them curbside.
Despite the pandemic, our book was 95% completed on March 13 in preparation for the printer’s deadline. We were afforded some extra time and even managed to cover the pandemic. However, all the wonderful things you look forward to seeing are still there! The Student Life divider is amazing, our portrait section includes fun sidebar stories and letters to each class, Fall / Winter sports are covered in full, clubs & activities and day-to-day student life…all there! Plus, Homecoming, football games, pep rally, Spirit Week…join the pages of this year’s book to revive great memories and realize just how many wonderful things really did happen this year!
Dual Enrollment
Students who selected a Dual Enrollment course for 2020-21 will receive and email next week with instructions for selecting courses for the coming school year. This process is being implemented due to the COVID-19 pandemic to eliminate using the traditional paper form. Instructions will be attached to the email for ease of registering. Please contact Mrs. Watson if you have any questions (cindy.watson@mpark.net).
Updates
- Students in grades 9-11 will not turn their devices in at the end of this school year.
- Summer school will be virtual and will be from July 6-July 31. Summer school will be available for students in grades 9-11 who did not complete the required two out of three modules since the school closure. There will also be opportunities for credit recovery. We will be sending out registration information and contacting those students who need to finish their modules.
