Progress Reports

Dear Parents and Guardians,

As you are aware, paper progress reports will no longer be distributed at the midway point of each marking term.  Instead, current term averages will be available through the Aspen X2 grading portal. Teachers will provide an updated average on the portal beginning Monday, October 7 through Friday, October 11.  Please select your student’s individual classes to view updated grades for each class. You may access the portal through the BHS GP Village website (http://www.gpvillage.com/bhs) or by visiting the Aspen  X2 grading portal link: https://ma-braintree.myfollett.com.  The GP Village website also has general instructions available for accessing the grading portal.

Should you have questions regarding the Aspen X2 grading portal, please e-mail bhsaspen@braintreema.govwith a brief description of your problem or your question. Should you have questions regarding your child’s grade, please e-mail the appropriate classroom teacher.  If you would like to receive a hard copy progress report, please contact your child’s house office. 

We look forward to continuing our work with you and to promoting further academic progress at BHS.
