This year I’m truly learning what it means to find balance as I navigate between my roles at MHS and College and Career Center. My work world has expanded and I’m meeting new students and parents everyday. MHS students/parents/guardians, please know you can set an appointment with me Tuesday-Thursday about post-high school thoughts and plans. Here is the link to the calendar. And while we can meet in the CCC office in Room 20, I’m happy to come back to MHS for any related meetings.
While I’m on the topic, I will be hosting 2 after school essay support workshops for all MHS/PHS seniors starting this week:
Thursday, 9/12/24 in room 47A: UC Personal Insight Questions
Thursday, 9/19/24 in room 47A: Common App prompts
Please review the links to the prompts so you can come ready to work (and bring your charged chromebook).

Once payment is received, your student will be registered for the exam(s). The cost per exam is $35.00 (which covers the cost of the exam and proctor fees). The registration deadline has passed.

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.
Week 3 is now behind us and many important dates are coming for seniors. Please bookmark the Road to Graduation document as it will soon be removed from the weekly parent newsletter. This is a living document that will be updated throughout the year.
