Parents and Students-certain grade levels will begin making their Fusion Class Pages private.  There are many good reasons for doing this and may eventually involve all class pages being private.  At the present time if one teacher from a grade level has a private page, everyone in that grade level will have private pages as well.  In order to view private pages you must be a MEMBER and you must LOG IN to view that page.  If you have not registered with Fusion AND are not a member of that class page (meaning the student is not in that class), you will not be able to view that particular class page.

If you have not registered with Fusion, please stop in the office to get your registration form then scroll down and read the "how-to" document.
