You can now access your student’s report card in ParentVUE.
As you review the report card, please keep the following in mind: At this point in the school year, students are expected to be receiving 2s or higher.
Here is a quick reminder of what the marks mean:
2 – Approaching the Standard: Your child is progressing toward proficiency. The goal is to meet the standard by the end of the school year.
S – Satisfactory: Your child is meeting expectations.
E – Exceeds: Your child is going above and beyond grade-level expectations.Â

Students are allowed to possess cell phones and other electronic devices such as watches, iPads, Nooks, Kindles, and other tablets on campus. All electronic devices must be turned off during the school day unless specific permission is granted by a teacher or administration. Students may not record, video, or take a picture of another student or staff without prior written consent. All electronic devices may only be used for educational purposes under the direct supervision of a teacher or administration. Electronic devices can be used before and after school to call and text messages only. Otherwise, devices MUST be kept in backpacks during the instructional day. Students will have access to their backpacks in case of an emergency. Students may not use their personal devices to call or message home during the day. All students who need to call home must use school phones with permission from the teacher or staff during school hours. Consequences for not following our school policy: Items may be retained in the Assistant Principal's’ office for pickup at the end of the student’s school day. At teacher or administrator request, a parent/guardian may be required to pick up the student’s electronic device. The school will not be responsible for loss or theft of electronic devices.
