TODAY: Elementary & Middle School Report Cards
First quarter report cards for elementary and middle school students will be available beginning Friday, Nov. 7. Families will receive an email with a link to the student’s report card. Report cards can also be viewed online via Focus/Parent Portal. To access, login to locate the “Reports” tab in the center of the screen. Select the Report Card to download the PDF. Because our high school operates on a semester system, there is no first quarter report card posted under the Reports tab for our high school students. Instead, families should see the grade information within the Grades tab. In addition, detailed grade/assignment information is always accessible via Canvas.
