Dear CBA Parents,

Christian Brothers Academy is excited to introduce a new internet-based student information system called NetClassroom . This program will allow parents and students to check grades, assignments, attendance, and schedules, as well as print report cards and unofficial transcripts — all from the internet. You will also be able to e-mail teachers directly from NetClassroom. Information is kept secure because parents and students enter NetClassroom using a unique password that restricts access to their records alone.

Since parents will have ongoing access to their child’s grades and performance information, CBA will no longer issue paper progress reports at mid-marking period. Even though you will have access to report card grades, we will continue to issue printed copies for throughout the semester. For your convenience, we have listed the interim and report card grading dates below. Grades for all courses will be posted by these dates.

The web address for NetClassroom is http://faweb.cbasyracuse.org/netclassroom/

Below are the user names and passwords for you and your student(s). Please keep these in a secure location .

(Student 1 Name) (User Name) (Password)

(Student 2 Name) (User Name) (Password)

(Student 3 Name) (User Name) (Password)

(Parents Names) (User Name) (Password)

If you do not have internet access at home or work, please notify the Guidance Department. All students will have access to NetClassroom at school and will be able to print information to bring home to you. The guidance staff will work with the students to ensure that you still receive information at home.

If you have questions or need technical assistance, please contact Druanne Fellmeth, CBA’s Technology Coordinator, at 446-5960 ext. 1518, or me at ext. 1233. We hope NetClassroom will be a useful tool to help you track your child’s performance.

Sincerely,

Kathleen Hanson

Assistant Principal for Academic Affairs
