Grades on Portals

Teachers updated grades on Portals at the end of the week. This will be the last official update prior to the end of the school year. Once final grades are calculated in June you will be able to log on to get those. In most classes there is a class memo that describes what the students have been working on as well as a brief description of what lies ahead in the closing weeks of the school year. If you have any questions about a class, please contact the teacher directly. If you have questions about accessing Portals please contact Jessica DelMonte.
