As we approach the end of the first marking period, I encourage all students and their parents/guardians to stay updated on grades and attendance. This will help ensure students are on track to pass all their classes and graduate on time. For those needing extra help, after-school study hall and tutoring sessions are available on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Additionally, our 24/7 virtual homework help through Varsity Tutors is a great resource (more details below).
Students can check their grades via StudentVUE, while parents/guardians can use ParentVUE
to monitor both grades and attendance.
If you have any questions about missing assignments or grades, please reach out to your student’s teachers, counselor, or supervising administrator.
