"Regular" Synergy report cards will automatically be posted in ParentVUE for quarters 2, 3, and 4. With the Academic feedback form for Quarter 1 being a PDF and not the report card, the following steps should be used to (1) complete the form and (2) send it securely through Canvas to the student and his/her family.
Students & families will be able to access their QT1 Academic Feedback form through either parents' email as a link to the document or on the STUDENT'S Canvas Inbox.
