The guidance office is a place a student or parent may come to discuss concerns confidentially. Confidentiality means that personal concerns will not be shared with others. However, counselors are required by law to contact other adults if a situation arises that puts someone in physical or emotional harm.
In an effort to keep the lines of communication open, the high school has a number of ways to check on your child's progress.
- Progress Reports - 4 times a year. They are listed in Parent Access under report card.
- Report Cards - They are mailed home 4 times per year.
- Parent/Teacher Conferences - November 2, 2023 and February 8, 2024 4-7 pm
Link to sign up for parent teacher conferences. Conferences are by appointment.
- Parent Access - This online feature will keep you up to date with grades and averages in each of you student's classes as well as a detailed information on how well they did on each assignment, quiz, and tests, tardies, and attendance. You can access parent access by clicking on the Quick Links tab and then Progress book or under the Parents tab and slide down to Progress Book for Grades or you can download the Progress Book App for your phone. If you haven't created an account yet click on sign up. If you need your registration key please contact Mrs. Hadden at 216.662.2800 ext. 52011 or email at [email protected]
