Foundations & Frameworks (F&F) Jump Start sessions, for new students in grades 3-5, will be held at the Worth Street campus from 9-11 a.m. on August 2-3 and August 6. Students need to attend all three sessions.
NetClassroom
NetClassroom is a web-based program that allows parents and students access to academic information, including class schedules, grades and report cards. It also allows parents and students to see grades received on individual assignments. Parents and students have access to the same online data, but each receives a unique username and password to the site. NetClassroom will replace RenWeb. Be on the lookout for more details about this new program.
