Hello Gilbert H. Hood Families,
As the leaves change and the air grows crisp, I'm reminded of a Sir Walter Scott quote, “Autumn is the time of picturesque tranquility.” I hope you’ve been able to enjoy the beauty of this amazing fall weekend.
Power School
You may or may not have noticed, but access to students’ grades and assignments in PowerSchool were temporarily turned off last week. This access will be reopened on Monday, October 7. Be sure to check PowerSchool on a regular basis for updated information about your child’s progress. Here is the link to the PowerSchool Parent Portal: PowerSchool
