It’ll be easier for parents to keep track of how their high school children are doing in school.

RD Parker Principal Rob Fisher says all teachers will be utilizing an online marking program:

"This year all of our teachers will be using online marking, it’s called 'grade book'. It will allow parents to see how their child is doing throughout the year, what assignments have been handed in, and which ones aren’t because even though their children are in high school we still need parents to help make sure that things get handed in, and help their kids stay organized, they’re still young".

Parents can access the program through Parent Connect.

That's not the only change at the school this year. Fisher says they've added a 15 minute break in the day to give students time to grab a snack, or go outside in between class.

As for a goal for this school year? Fisher says graduation. He says the changes, programs, and acitivites they implement is all to help students succeed, and eventually graduate.

The first day of school is tomorrow.
