PINNACLE LINK IS ON THE BOTTOM
Grades are available on PINNACLE for parents and students to view. This is an excellent resource and support for all. Please use the resource as intended to keep abreast as to how your child is progressing and remember to ask your child FIRST, before contacting the teacher about any questions as they usually will know the answer. Once grades are posted in my class, students should have the assignment to show you and discuss.
***** A "Z" means that the student DID NOT turn in the assignment.
