My 8th grader is new to the school. He had a bumpy first couple of weeks and was not turning in homework. I used the parent portal and saw the problem. I immediately contacted all four of his teachers and found them to be helpful and supportive in turning him around. He now has a plan in place to ensure homework is communicated, completed, and turned in. The teachers work with students and parents in a cooperative manner. I can't praise them enough for going the extra mile.

There are a few things that could be better, I feel like the administration could be more active and friendly.
