Families! We have come to the close of one of three marking periods in Semester 1. We wanted to remind you of all the support MHS can offer your student:
Teachers: We encourage students to work on self advocacy skills and talk to their teacher if they do not understand something from class, need clarification, or want to review missing work.
Counselors: We are happy to talk to students about any challenges they are having in or out of the classroom.
Academy: Each student has an academy teacher. Its noted in their schedule. But, they can use Flexisched to request to see other teachers during the Wednesday and Friday academy time.
Peer Tutoring: During Academy time, students have the choice to be with a peer tutor vs going to see a their teachers. In Flexisched, students select “Peer Tutoring” for Academy and are then paired, under the guidance of a teacher, with a peer who can help them in a specific subject area.
Falcon Hour: Recently started, students have a space where they can stay after school to finish work! For 1 hour right after school, students can go to room 47A on Mondays and Tuesdays. There even might be some snacks available!!!
Reminder about Work Permits:
If you are starting a job and under 18 years old, Ms Manalo LeClair has the work permit applications for students. Students, parents/ guardians and employers to fill out and sign. Once this form is signed, please bring this to Ms ML and she will need at least 24 hours to type up the actual work permit which goes back to the employer.
If your student is planning to take an AP exam this spring, please follow the two step ordering process below. The deadline for ordering exams is Friday, November 8th. Exams cost $130 which covers instructional materials, testing materials, proctors, and other costs. Orders placed after November 8th will incur a CollegeBoard imposed $40 late fee.
Step 1 - Log-in to the Infinite Campus School Store and place an order for all exams your student plans to take.
Step 2 - Your student should log-in to their College Board account and indicate which exams should be ordered. Instructions on how to do this can be found here. If you do not complete this step for each exam, an exam will not be ordered! All students should have access to their teacher's AP course page. If students have questions about this, they should contact their teacher.
If you have questions on payment or ordering, please contact our registrar Darlene Low (dlow@piedmont.k12.ca.us)
Interested in taking an exam for a course we don't offer? - Please fill out the survey here. We may offer additional exams if enough students sign-up.

Regular attendance and classroom participation are essential to the educational process at MHS. Missing class presentations, discussions, lectures, demonstrations and laboratories can be detrimental to student achievement, grades, credit accumulation and the progress of the class itself.
Reporting and Excusing an Absence
When a student is absent, it is required that the parent/guardian either phone the Attendance Office recorder (510-594-2889) or send a note explaining the reason for the absence. If an absence is cleared by phone, it is not necessary to follow up with a note. Only the signatures of the parent(s)/guardian(s) on the student emergency card are permitted on notes. Please provide the following information: first and last name of the student, name of parent, date of absence, the specific classes missed, and the reason for the absence. Parents/Guardians must excuse their student’s absence within three days of the time they return. If an absence is not cleared within that time, the absence will be marked as unexcused. Students are not permitted to excuse themselves on the recorder or by note. Students who miss three or more days of school in succession must present a doctor’s note, if the absences are due to illness.
By now you should all have access to our Learning Management System, Schoology. If you had logged in to a parent account in Schoology prior to this year, you will be able to access Schoology the same way you have in the past. If you are a new parent to PUSD, or have not accessed Schoology in the past, this week you should have received an email from Schoology with information that includes your username and temporary password, as well as a link that will bring you where you need to go to access Schoology. If you have questions about accessing your account on Schoology, please reach out to Adam Saville (asaville@piedmont.k12.ca.us).
Once you have logged into Schoology, click on your name in the top right hand corner. You should get a drop-down menu that includes your child's name. When you click on their name, you'll then get access to their class information in Schoology, including updates, assignments, and grades. Our school uses Schoology to provide a central location for homework assignments (and digital submissions), grades, class activities, interactive discussions, announcements, and more. The flexible system provides one place for all students, teachers and parents to go for day-to-day classroom information. All homework, major tests, and grades will be posted to it throughout the school year. For more on what you can access when viewing your child's activity in Schoology, click HERE.
