When will progress report cards and final semester grades be mailed home?
First semester progress report cards are mailed by the school in mid-October and late November. In this class, these are meant to be just that - a report on your student's progress. Points in each category are added up throughout the entire semester and the grade earned in December is the final grade earned for the semester. Students begin their grade with a new start second semester. Progress report cards are mailed in mid-March and mid-May. See the Harbor High School Calendar for the specific dates.
How Do I Log Into Illuminate?
Students will be given user names and passwords to access the new system early on in the school year and taught how to log-in in one of your classes. If you have difficulty with logging in or your password / user id does not work, go to the Counseling Office for assistance.
