Gradebook Notifications provide you with timely information regarding your child's academic progress and facilitate your ability to have family conversations to address academic needs.
Teachers often include notes in the online gradebook regarding the status of past due assignments and opportunities to improve failing grades. The schedule page in gradebook also provides you with the email contact information of your child's teachers. Teachers welcome students to meet with them during tutorials before and after school and during scheduled Connect appointments. Check with your teacher about tutorials.
Parents are also able to monitor Chromebook usage at home through GoGaurdian Parent. This mobile app gives parents/guardians the ability to manage and monitor student activity on school-issued Chromebooks during out-of-school hours. GoGuardian Parent is a companion to the classroom management and internet filtering tools that our district uses during the school day.
In the spirit of collaboration, parents and teachers are encouraged to communicate and work together to develop strategies and supports for struggling students. Counselors are available to support students, parents and teachers to collaborate for every student's academic and social emotional success.

Jasper Small Group Counseling Sessions
The counseling department is starting to work with students in a Small Group Counseling space, specifically created for students to feel welcome and share in a group-led format. We will be working with students on a variety of topics such as: anxiety, grief, relationship building, conflict management, etc. If you are interested in your student joining a group, please reach out to your student's counselor. We hope in this new space we can continue to meet the needs of our students here at Jasper.
