Academic Office

It takes a village to raise a child, and when you're taking the responsibility for hundreds of students you'll need a village that is aware, connected and collaborative. At the heart of it all, you need a superior infrastructure that provides your teachers, administrators and parents with the tools necessary to ensure that each and every student reaches his or her full potential.

Communication and Progress Forms

With students spending so many of their waking hours at school, it’s essential that the lines of parent-teacher communication are constantly open to ensure all parties are working together for the benefit of your students. The Parent Portal ensures that parents are completely connected and aware of their childrens’ day-to-day progress. Graphite Education offers many ways to communicate, including logs (quick emails) and pre-designed progress templates that can be sent to parents updating them on their children’s progress in specific areas at any time.
