How Can I Help My Student's Grade at Byron High School?

1. Obtain a PowerSchool Login and Password – PowerSchool is an online grade reporting method that all teachers use at Byron High School to report the progress of each student.  With a login and password, parents can track when assignments are due and the grade earned on an assignment when it is graded and returned. Low grades are often related to missing or late work. Call or email the high school guidance office (Mrs. Smith – smith@byron.k12.mi.us) to obtain a login and password (810) 266- 4620.

2. Get a planner – A planner is a great way to help your son or daughter to remember when assignments are due and when tests and quizzes are scheduled. Start by having your son or daughter write down all homework that is assigned for each class. It is also very important to include “no homework” for a class if that is the case so the same routine is carried out each hour. If at first this needs to be monitored by teacher, your son or daughter should write the assignment in the planner and the teacher will initial it at the end of the hour to verify it.  There are many phone apps that will help keep track of homework and due dates as well.

3. Contact the teacher - The high school office telephone number is (810) 266-4620. Leave a message for a teacher and you will receive a return call within 24 hours. A faster way to contact your teacher is through email because teachers do not have immediate access to a telephone.

5. Contact the Byron High School Principal Mr. Dobson, to set up a round table meeting with your child’s teacher(s) if there is a concern about academic progress. Round table meetings occur before or after school and take about 30 minutes. Contact Mr. Dobson at (810) 266 –
