How do I see my child’s grades? Each parent has access to the Student Progress Center, which can be accessed from jpschools.org. Accounts roll over from elementary. Students who are new to JPPSS will receive a letter in August with instructions on how to set up their account.

How often should I check my child’s grades? It is recommended that you check the student progress center at least once per week. The student progress center will also display attendance information, major discipline information, as well as any communications from the school made using the JCampus system.

What if my child is late to school? Students who are late to school should enter the campus through the Metairie Road entrance to sign in. Parents do not have to sign in their child. Any tardy that is documented with a doctor or parent note will be considered unexcused. As a reminder, only three parent notes for tardies/absences will be accepted per semester.

How do I know what’s going on in my child’s class? Each teacher posts assignments each day on his or her wiki which is can be accessed through the Haynes Academy website. Please reference these wikis often. Please also reach out to your child’s teacher via email with any concerns.

My child always says he/she has no homework. Is this true? Probably not. Most teachers give homework 3 – 5 days per week, including weekends. Most homework assignments should take between 15-30 minutes to complete per class. Check the wikis for additional homework information. Students can use advisory time to start homework. All students should study notes daily.

What should I do if my child is spending more than two hours per night on homework? Contact your child’s teacher if it seems like one particular subject to express your concern about the difficulty your child is having. If it seems like your child is having trouble completing all homework, please contact Christina Johnson, Dean of Students. Encourage your child to take advantage of tutorials during advisory time.

How does my child make up work? Encourage your child to communicate with teacher upon return. Check wikis Email teacher for clarification

What do I do if my child forgot something? Evaluate the situation…emergency or non-emergency Lunch – Cafeteria will provide child with a lunch Homework assignment Sports Bag Money for a field trip or permission slip Major project We will not call your child to the office, but they can pick it up in the office. We cannot deliver messages to your child or ask them to call you. Fast food/restaurant lunches will not be accepted at the front counter.

Can I eat lunch with my child? Absolutely, but they may not want you to. This is a personal decision between you and your child. Any parent who wants to eat lunch with their child must sign in the front office and is limited to the cafeteria.

What are the steps for resolving a concern? Class problem – Always contact the teacher first. If you are not happy with the response, then please contact an administrator. Concerns about a teacher – Shawn Rome, Assistant Principal Concerns about overall student performance – Christina Johnson, Dean School problem like attendance, discipline, question about policy – Contact an administrator Attendance or Discipline – Deanna Parke, Assistant Principal School Policies – Karla Russo, Principal Concerns about social or emotional issues – Contact Art Scudari, Counselor All other concerns – Karla Russo, Principal Email is best method of communication

I posted my concern to Facebook, but no one responded. The Haynes Academy Parent Facebook page is a GREAT resource to get your questions answered. Specific concerns should be addressed directly to the school via email.

Questions? Thank you for attending our orientation. Please complete your evaluation at the end of the evening and place it in the bin in the gym.
