As we role out Skyward, our new student information system, we will be introducing the Parent Portal. This management system will serve the school district well, but I think parents will be equally pleased. This will certainly enhance school-to-home communications by daily informing the parent of grades, attendance, homework, and etc.
Staff training will take place during workshop week. Therefore, be patient as this will be new to our staff members, but because of the simplicity of the program, we will be operating smoothly with this shortly after school begins.
We will begin enrolling parents at open house this coming fall so that they can immediately begin monitoring from work and home. I do want parents to understand that while teachers generally update their gradebooks at least weekly, it is understood that some assignments simply take longer to grade and may not be immediately updated in the gradebooks. Staff will make every attempt to update their gradebooks weekly.
