Checking Grades

Here is a link to the Parent Assist website.

Many Grant teachers will use this district provided program to maintain and post their grades. You will also be able to monitor attendance and check personal information.
I will update grades every Monday, but I might not get every late assignment or retake in the gradebook promptly.
To use this website you will need to get a personal code from the Grant High School office. If you have a code from last year or for any other child it should still be active.
