Viewing GRADES and REPORTS...
Please use the tutorials below on how to view your student's grades within the OTUS Platform. Families will need to follow the directions to create a Family Account. If you are needing your "Student Code" please ask your student to log-in to OTUS, it is a # along with a series of numbers and letters - please note that the "Student Code" is case sensitive. If you have questions please let us know, we are happy to assist.
From the Nurse's Clinic
From the Nurses Clinic: When a student is suspected of having a viral illness causing vomiting or diarrhea, such as the Norovirus, the ill person should stay home for 24 hours after the last vomiting/diarrhea episode to reduce exposure to others. Students may “vomit” for reasons that are not contagious. It is the school nurse’s assessment that determines whether a student can return before 24 hours or stay in school.
