This movie is rated PG13. Students need will need a signed permission slip in order to view the movie.

From the principal > __Students__ no longer need to use their parents' credentials to log onto Home Access Center.

The link to Home Access Center remains the same.
 * Information about online grades: **

GRADING >

- Z = makeup work that needs to be done (absent students, etc...)
=== - 0 = no credit given for various reasons such as no name on assignment, assignment not turned in or not attempted.Many times students do not put their name on their work and thus no credit is given. No-name assignments are kept during the grading period in the classroom for students to identify for partial credit. ===
 * - X = an assignment has been excused and will not count against the student. **
