UPDATE
RenWeb YOURSELF!
Parents and students, when your phone numbers or addresses
change, you can update RenWeb directly:
1. Login,
2. click on Family Information, then
3. Custodial Parent Form or Student Demographic
Form in the Online Filing Cabinet (bottom section, under
the Web Forms tab).
Make your changes and click Save at the bottom of the page.
This will generate an email to our RenWeb administrative team
who will accept or reject the changes.
_______________________
RenWeb CHANGE
Last week we encouraged parents to sign up for Zero Warning
Notifications. RenWeb has subsequently changed the program,
and that option is not available for individual families but only
for an entire class, like 7th grade. If you would like the parents
of your child’s grade to receive notifications whenever students
have missing assignments, please contact your child’s principal.
Parents can always go to ParentsWeb / Student Information /
Grades to view all grades for the year.
