Note to parents: We on the School Governance Council are trying to get parents involved in using the  Engrade system.  Say hello using Engrade and Identify yourself as a parent,  just so I know how many parents are checking. There will be a free training session downtown on January 17 from 7-8 and 8-9; check the flyer in your student's progress reports.  As a parent, what could we do to get you to log in on Engrade under your own account, not your student's account?
