My Child's Grades aren't Good, How Can I Find Out What is Going On?![]()
Parents : We all know that everyone needs help and support sometimes. Our goal at Lindhurst High School is to make sure those opportunities for help are easily accessible to you and your child. Please use the steps below as a guide to help your child get back on the path to success.
Step 1: Use the Parent Grade Portal on the Web
Every student/Parent has a pin number they can use to gain access to every teacher'sonline grade book. In this grade book, you can see missing assignments, test scores, and any work that earns points in a class. It also enables you to easily email a teacher. This option is available 24/7, so if you need to get your pin number, please contact Teresa Russell at extension 2501.
Step 2: Communicate Directly with a Teacher via Email
Counselors,although helpful, do not have information on your child's behavior/performance in the classroom. Only teachers can provide you with that information. Please use Email whenever possible to communicate with your child's teachers to get accurate, detailed information. You can find their emails in the Parent Portalor call the school to ask for it. (Most email addresses are first initial of first name and the full last name @ mjusd.com).
Step 3: Contact your Child's Counselor
Use this option if you do not have access to the internet or if you would like to set up a face to face meeting with a teacher or teachers. Keep in mind that since teachers are in the classroom all day, conferences are generally arranged before school at 7:30am or after school at 3:00pm.
