P.S. To log in to MyAccess, your username is HSD + student ID; if you haven’t reset your password it’s your student ID number, but most of you have already reset your password.

Please check out your grades on Infinite Campus. If you have any missing work, please make sure it is turned in by 9/23 for 70% of the original credit. After that date, late work from the first five weeks of school will no longer be accepted.

Thank you to those students who have already tested on their summer reading: your SRC grades have been posted.

If you see something on your grade report you’d like to discuss, please let me know.

Thanks,

Mrs. P
