The parent portal to access your student's grades online is open. A letter with the website and your student's user name and password is in the midterm envelope. I encourage you to check your student's progress weekly. Click on the percent/grade to see each grade for an individual class.


I will update my webpage daily with the most current information including homework assignments. If you need to reach me, please e-mail me at wilgusl@hawthorn73.org or call me at 847-816-8317 x 228. I check my e-mail more frequently than my voicemail, so that is probably the quickest way to communicate with me. I will get back to you as soon as I can.
