Week 2 Agenda

November 13-17

New Website Feature
Student Grade Reports

  • Students and parents can now access student grade reports. These will be updated weekly so students and parents can know how students are progressing in the class.
  • Each student's password is the last six digits of his or her student ID number. Students will receive their password on Tuesday in class, and we will email parents as soon as possible.
  • If you would like your password at any time, just email Ms. Feldman at the address to the right.
  • If you would like to change your password, email Ms. Feldman a new 6 digit password.
  • I hope this new feature will further aid students and parents as we empower students to take control of their own education.
