HUBER HEIGHTS SCHOOLS
Thanks to technology, busy parents now have an easier way to keep track of how their children are doing in school. Progress Book, an online grading system currently used by all kindergarten though 12th-grade teachers in our school district, has a component that allows parents to access their child’s grades from any computer with an internet connection. As a school district, we realize that ongoing parent/student/teacher communication is essential to each student’s academic success. Progress Book’s Parent Access website has tremendously improved this communication process, enabling parents to track student progress throughout the grading period. This system can provide parents and students with 24/7 access to classroom information and progress reports. Currently, the Parent Viewer component of Progress Book is open to all parents of students attending Wayne High School, Studebaker Middle School, Weisenborn Middle School, and Valley Forge, Titus and Monticello elementary schools. The remaining four elementary schools (Menlo Park, Kitty Hawk, Rushmore, and LaMendola) will have the Parent Viewer component open to parents by the second semester.
The Parent Viewer can be accessed at www.huber heightscityschools.org. Once at the website, parents should look on the right hand side of the page and click on the link Parent Viewer: Progress Book. This will take parents to a page that shows the districts that use Progress Book. Next, click on the Wayne Warrior logo and this link will take users to the sign-in page for the Progress Book Parent Viewer. Once on this page, parents must sign in with their user name and password. If parents have difficulty accessing the Parent Viewer, please contact Vickie Mandich in the HHCS Technology Department at 237-6300, ext. 1136. Mandich is available every morning until 10:30 a.m.
We hope that parents will utilize this technology tool as a way to monitor their child’s progress. Parents should keep in mind that that the grades listed on Progress Book may not always be the most current due to inputting issues. Progress Book will help parents see the academic performance trend of their child in a specific subject. If parents ever have a question regarding the grades that are posted on Progress Book, the appropriate teacher should be contacted. We hope this tool helps improve communication between school and home and creates opportunities for parents to monitor their child’s classroom performance in a timelier manner.
As always, if you have questions about our schools, please contact me at the Administrative Offices (237-6300) or through e-mail at William.Kirby@ huberheightscityschools.org.
