EdEase 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.

checking once a week.

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 1st, 3rd, 5th & 7th periods. White days are 2nd, 4th, 6th, & 8th periods

• Advisory Period-3rd 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!

Future SLC placement

• Students need to take these seriously and answer questions honestly to ensure proper placement.

• Parents and students will receive more SLC information throughout the

year.
