IMPORTANT INFO & EVENTS

End of Quarter

  • Friday, October 29 was the last day of the quarter and the second quarter begins Wednesday, November 3. Please remember that with rolling gradebook all grades viewed moving forward will be a reflection of the entire year's worth of work. The best way to interpret first quarter grades is to look at them as a current snapshot in time. 
  • ParentVue and StudentVue are currently unavailable while teachers input grades. These will be viewable again on November 13.
