You know that page you get after you sign in to Veracross with the calendar and a whole lot of text? That’s called your Veracross “portal” page and it’s about to get a facelift! Please stay tuned in the next week or so for information about what this will look like for you – depending on if you’re a parent, student or teacher. Overall navigation will not change and the sub pages (like where your assignments are, sign-ups, and whatnot) will also remain the same for now, but that first, landing page will look a lot brighter and will have buttons with icons, instead of links. Stay tuned after Parent-Teacher 3-way conferences for more information about what your portal will look like and how to navigate around it. We will roll each one out after our conferences conclude. Get a sneak peek below!

US Teachers Semester 2 and Veracross
Greetings Upper School Teachers and Welcome to Semester 2!
We have switched things in Veracross to reflect the new Semester settings which will affect certain things in your gradebook. The main thing it will affect is that your gradebook will show semester 2 assignments instead of semester 1. However, if you would like to check or work on Semester 1 assignments, you can always switch it back as shown in the screenshot below. If you have any trouble, please don’t hesitate to send us a help ticket!
School Utility Cost
