Ease Parent Access • Parents and students must create an account to have access to the grade program (see administrative assistants: Nina Lindauer & Cathy Hoover) • Use to check grades, attendance, discipline, standardized tests, & email teachers. • Please use with moderation…teachers do not update grades everyday. We recommend checking once a week.

Ed. Ease Gradebook program 1. Email teachers with concerns 2. Click on course to see grades

Attendance • Extremely important, especially on block scheduling. • Students have 6 minute passing periods. Students have a sufficient amount of time during passing periods to get from point A to point B so they should not be receiving tardy marks.

Block Scheduling • Students will meet every other day with their classes. Green days are 1 st, 3 rd, 5 th & 7 th periods. White days are 2 nd, 4 th, 6 th, & 8 th periods • Advisory Period-3 rd period every other day. Students can use this period to get help from teachers, meet with tutors, use as a study hall. Very important that students use this time wisely! • Organization is key on block scheduling!
