Online grade books on BASIS

We highly encourage parents/guardians and students to check running grades on BASIS. Here are the instructions: Accessing the BASIS Parent Portal Instructions.

 

For students with outstanding work, here are the following:

1. Teachers will send/sent follow up emails/messages to give early notice to families.

2. We will appreciate a follow-up at home with the student.  Kindly let us know how we can be of help by contacting your child’s subject teacher, Ms. Almae Caluya and/or Dr. Celeste Engler. We would like to approach challenges as compassionately and caring as possible while ensuring quality learning.

3. For Grades 4-12 students, using an ‘M’ (missing) when computing the running grade has a significant impact on the average grade.  However, the ‘M’ mark can be updated once your child / ward submits his or her missing work or completes any outstanding requirements.
