On-Line PASS System Improved For Parent Use

 LHS is pleased to announce that we have upgraded the PASS System so that students and parents will now be able to access midterm and quarter progress reports, semester grades, payments and fees, GPA history, and attendance anywhere with web access.  When parents log into PASS, they will see a new option entitled "Current Marks."  This choice will  will reveal formal grades, complete with teacher comments.  We will update this portion of PASS eight times annually:  at the end of midterms, quarters and semesters.  For the remainder of the 2006-2007 school year, we will upload according to the following schedule:

 December 13, Midterm Progress Reports

 February 5, Semester Grades

 February 28, Midterm Progress Reports

 March 28, Quarter Progress Reports

 May 9, Midterm Progress Reports

 June 25, Semester Grades

We hope this addition to our system makes the ability to track a student's academic program even more convenient.  We will phase out our previous practice of mailing semester grades and having students carry home midterm and quarter progress reports. If parents have questions, they can simply email each teacher by using the email link right on the progress report.  We want to make it as easy as possible for parents to connect with teachers. Parents with web access who have not signed up for PASS should contact Colette Maus to set up the program.  The whole process takes less than five minutes.  Colette can be reached at 340-4209 every school day.

Parents without web access should simply call Colette to have the quarter and midterm progress reports sent home with their student.  Semester grades can still be mailed home. Other features of the improved PASS system include attendance records.  Parents can check the attendance record of their student on a daily basis.  Since the system is uploaded after school every day, parents should be able to check on attendance that same evening from home.

"We are always trying to find ways to improve our connection with the families that we serve," remarked Mr. Mark St. Clair, Principal, "We know the families in our community are very busy.  We think making all this information available on-line rather than on paper will create easy ways to communicate whether at work, on the road, or at home. As always, we welcome  comments and concerns.  Please let us know of any ideas on how we can better serve families."
