The School Counseling Dept. is keenly aware that eLearning presents challenges and can be frustrating for many parents/guardians because the education your child(ren) is receiving bares little resemblance to what you remember school being like. This page is a convenient, one-stop place for you to access as many resources and tools as we can find to help you help your students and hold them accountable for their learning.
Generally, there are 2 tools you need to become familiar with--Google Classroom and Parent Portal.

To receive notifications about what is going on in your child's classes, you can ask your child's teachers to add you to their Google Classroom. You will then receive all the notifications that your child receives about assignments and announcements of when quizzes and tests will be given.

Parent Portal is connected to teachers' gradebooks. As soon as they update the gradebook, you can see updated grades in Parent Portal. When you login to Parent Portal, the first screen you see lists subjects, teachers, grades, and attendance.
Teachers--The teachers' names are links that can open an email message so you can compose an email to a teacher.
Grades--The grades are links that when clicked will open a list of all assignments for that marking period and the grades the student earned on the assignment.
Attendance--The columns on the farthest right-hand side of the screen lists the absences and tardies a student has for each class. Clicking on the number will tell you the specific dates that the student was marked absent or was tardy.
Parent Portal has an option for you to receive emails updating you regarding your child's grades. In the left hand column under "Email Preferences," you can set it up so that Parent Portal will automatically email you an update of your child's grades. The update can be set anywhere between a daily update and a monthly update.
