Parent/guardian(s) are informed of academic progress through quarterly report cards. Mid-quarter progress can be monitored by logging onto the PowerSchool Public Portal and viewing the most current grades. Parents/guardian(s) and students also have access to attendance in addition to grades through the PowerSchool Public Portal. With internet access, the PowerSchool Public Portal gives students and parents the ability to view student progress on a regular basis.

Conferences related to the student’s progress may be initiated by the counselor, parent/guardian, teacher or other school administrator.
