Each student's first period teacher will act as a point of contact for general questions regarding school procedures, expectations, or when requesting a meeting with a team of teachers. For questions concerning a specific subject, please email the teacher directly.
When a student’s grade is of concern to a parent, we ask that you follow these steps:
1. Talk with your child first. Ask about the assignment requirements.
2. Check to see if the teacher has posted the grading system or assignments on PowerSchool.
3. Check to see if there is an assignment description. This may help you in understanding what was involved or expected for a particular assignment.
4. Check the date of the assignment. An assignment handed in late may receive deductions from its score.
5. Grades can change dramatically in the first few weeks of each 12 week period. This is simply because there may be only one or two assignments in the grade book, a low or high score can make a dramatic change in the overall grade.
6. There may be missing or late assignments that could be affecting the overall grade average.
7. At anytime, you can email a teacher for clarification about grades or assignments, but please look at steps 1-5 prior to contact. If steps 1-5 do not clarify the situation, please email the teacher.
