September 2014  -  A New School Year Begins!

Coming Up This Month...
For most of our schools, the Summer Transition steps have been completed and the new school year is underway.  Previewing your report cards is a very important step and should be completed during these first few weeks of school. This step involves looking over each grade level’s report cards to make sure all courses, sub-categories, grade scales and layouts look correct. When you complete this step early in the school year, you help support your your teachers by making sure they have what they need and reduce last minute report card corrections at the end of the grading period.

The new school year is here and many of our schools are in full swing. To help get your parents started, we have created a Family User Guide, specifically designed to help introduce FastDirect to your families.
