Report Cards

Bentley School encourages parents to view their children's marks and attendance using PowerSchool Parent Portal for grades 6-12 or Freshgrade for children in grades Kindergarten to grade 5. Parents are greater connected with their children's academic progress by using these online systems as they can view missed assignments, test scores and connect with teachers whenever needed. To set up a Parent Portal account, please contact the school office for your username and password. Teacher's using Freshgrade will send invite emails to parents with children in grades K-5.

Bentley School organizes parent teacher interviews three times per year. Early interviews are at the beginning of October and parents are not required to book an appointment. This is a great way to meet your child's teacher and become familiar with your child's learning environment. Scheduled parent teacher interviews are in the middle of November (Gr. K-12), middle of March (Gr. K-8) and middle of April (Gr 9-12). Parents use an online system to book interviews with their child's teacher(s).
