September 2015  -  A Great New Start!

Coming Up This Month...
For most of our schools, the Summer Transition steps are 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 teachers by making sure they have what they need and reduce last minute report card corrections at the end of the grading period. Please note that ReportCard changes can take up to a week to process.

.......................................................

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.
