How do I check student attendance, assignments, and grades?

The best way to check for daily assignments and due dates is to use your students’ device to go to https://app.mystudentdashboard.com/. This is the student portal for teacher assignments made in Google Classroom. To learn more about how to use this student portal, visit the link here.

To check on student daily attendance and term grades, parents should use the SUSD Parent Portal. If you have never used the Parent Portal, contact your students’ school office and use the directions linked here to get started.

What if I’m having trouble connecting to the internet at home?

If you aren’t connected to the Internet, you can still view and edit your Google files. Follow the directions to set up your Chromebook for offline working. Any changes made to files while offline will then sync in Google Drive once the student is connected back online.
