Check parent portal for grade updates/missing assignments.
Please contact me if you have questions regarding an assignment or grade.
Students must have an agenda every day. Their passes are in there. They are suppose to write their assignments for each class daily. If students have lost them, they need to purchase a new one from the office. If they have one purchased from a store, that will work as well, but they won't have passes.
