Parents and guardians may access their child's progress reports/report cards electronically through the Aeries Parent Portal.

If you have questions about your student's grades:

• Ask them to show you their grades in Aeries. You may be able to see missing assignments, test and quiz scores, etc.
• If you have questions, please review the syllabus you received from each teacher at the beginning of the year. Can't find it? Many classes will have it in Google Classroom. You can ask your child to show it to you. The syllabus for each class is your guide to grading policies, including if your student's teacher accepts late work, the range of time late work was accepted, and if they offer opportunities to retake tests.
• If you still have questions, you and your student can email their teacher with questions.

If you would like a paper copy of the report card, please call our front office to request one.

We encourage you to make a family habit of checking Aeries Parent Portal once a week for any missing assignments so you can stay involved and help your scholar thrive!

For support reviewing the report card, see the video below. It will require a sign in. If you do not have an email address, ask your student to use their school email login.

OUSD provides Device Protection Coverage for a fee of $20 per student. This program protects families in situations where the student’s device is accidentally damaged. Students using OUSD district-owned devices may choose to decline the “Device Protection Program”. However, this is not recommended because the family assumes full responsibility for any costs due to damage, loss, or theft. These costs can be $400 or more per incident, depending on the current prices from vendors. See the flier or buttons below for more information.
