Parent Portal
Parents may pick up parent portal passwords beginning Wednesday, September 9 from the front office. We were required to do an adjustment in the master schedule due to a loss of staff positions. Some teaching assignments were changed effective Tuesday in sixth grade. If your child's classes or information is incomplete please give us a call and we will provide information verbally. Thank you.
The Parent Portal allows parents to view their child's daily attendance, daily grades, report card grades, schedule, and discipline.
Questions Parents are Asking About Parent Portal
Question: Some parents are wondering if they can attach two children (or more) to one account so they don't have to sign in multiple times to see different children?
Answer: Yes, they can. The parent must click the 'Add Your Student' link they will see near "My Family" on the My Family page. They will search for their student's first and last name, then select the correct student. The student then must login and they will see a message on their screen where they must accept or reject the parents request.
Parent Link
Parents - Please go to the Parent Services tab at the top of this page to Parent Link and put in or correct your information. Your email address should be entered here so that you can receive newsletters and other items through your email. Any corrections to phone numbers, addresses, etc. should be made here also. We can then enter all the correct information into STAR for your student. Thank you for your help in this matter.

SPEAK UP, SAVE LIVES is an anonymous HOTLINE that provides a mechanism for students to report what they know about weapon threats without the fear of their identities being revealed. When a student calls the hotline, he/she is connected with a professional counselor who asks the caller a series of questions developed by law enforcement and educational experts. The information is passed on to the designated school authority and to the relevant law enforcement officer.

Computer for Parent Use
This year we have a computer that can be used by parents in our office. As you come into the office, you will see the computer in the far right corner. We want parents to use this computer (if you do not have access to one at home) to visit the parent portal, to visit our website, or to attend to business that you need to on the internet.
