Principal's Corner
ParentVue is a powerful tool that allows parents to keep up with their students in classes. It allows the opportunity for supervision......did you get your homework from Tuesday turned in? How did you do on that test?
It also allows for engaging conversations about the classes........Tell me about that Mitosis lab you did this week? What did you do for your history project?
I have attached the directions for ParentVue. If you need any assistance accessing your account, please call the school and we will have someone walk you through the process.
Have a great weekend!

Have a great weekend,
