Student Grades

Students will be able to access their grades at until PowerSchools is made available to parents. After I provide them with the course code, they must setup their own Engrade account and login. Please take time to access their grades on a regular basis to track progress. Should you ever have any questions or concerns, please message me via Engrade or call the school and setup an appointment.

4. Place your completed assignments in the appropriate tray on the table or in your notebook as directed.

5. Graded assignments will be placed in your hanging file for your class period.

Last, but not least, I dismiss my class NOT the bell. The bell indicates that it is time to change class. I usually say “see you tomorrow” or have a “nice day”.
