Parent/Guardian E-mail List • A parent/guardian e-mail went out last Friday with a recap of the week. If you did not receive this e-mail and would like to, please complete the information on the clip board. • SPAN- As of 3rd period, I finally figured out the missing “Post to Parent” button, so grades are available online.
