Pinnacle Internet Viewer (PIV)-- Please make a plan with your child to check their grades each week.  You will need to sign your child's planner every Friday that you have viewed the planner and PIV.  If you are experiencing problems logging in, keep trying.  Sometimes if a lot of people are viewing, it can take a few times.  Please be patient and thank you for making the effort.  All students have their login and password for PIV in their planners.
