As we head into the halfway point of the second nine weeks, you are undoubtedly getting inundated with requests from students for updates on their grades.

VBCPS staff encourages you to use this opportunity to urge students to work with their parents and sign up for access to Parent Portal.

Among the many highlights of Parent Portal, students can have automatic viewing of their grades, which means students can see where they stand in your classroom without you having to go through your grade book.

Access to Parent Portal does require a parent/guardian to sign up at school, but that can be done during pick up or drop off times or any time during the school day at any VBCPS school that is closer to work or home locations.

For any student/parent questions about Parent Portal, have them visit www.vbschools.com/schoolnet/index.
