DHHS News For August 2011

• SnapGrades is now JupiterGrades!

The online grading program utilized by Desert Hills to keep parents and students continually informed about grades and attendance has changed its name. But the exceptional program remains the same.

With JupiterGrades, you can log in any time to check your student’s grades, homework, missing assignments, test scores and report cards, in addition to communicating with teachers. The system is secure, and no one else can view your personal information.

We strongly urge parents to use the JupiterGrades website. One of the most significant factors in school achievement is effective communication between students, teachers and parents. At Desert Hills, we believe JupiterGrades is the ideal program to enhance this communication.

JupiterGrades is accessible at www.jupitergrades.com. For more information, call the front office at 480-813-1151.

• School Begins Monday, Aug. 8th! We hope you have enjoyed your summer, and we look forward to seeing you soon!
