My Advice to Parents:
My Advice to Parents:
First, one of the best ways to help your student succeed this semester is to keep current with their progress. I will be glad to update you on grades, missing assignments, attendance, and discipline in response to an email or phone call from you. The Parent Portal is the quickest, easiest way to keep up with grades, attendance, discipline records, and other information for your student. Be sure to pick up your ID for the Parent Portal from the Guidance Department if you do not have one already!!

Second, use my website! It can be a great tool to stay up-to-date on what your student is doing in class as well as what they miss when they are absent. I generally tell my students to check the website if they are absent and see me when they return for clarification on missed work.
