Current Grades (Student Portal)
The student portal is accessed via the Weslaco ISD website.  The student portal may be accessed using Internet Explorer, but in class we will be using Mozilla Firefox to view Internet pages.  Locate and use Mozilla Firefox instead of Internet Explorer.  Access the student portal through the Weslaco ISD District website below:
 

http://www.wisd.us

 

Use the student portal information to identify which class assignments have not been submitted for grading.  If you find any grade discrepancies in your Principles of Business grades, take advantage of the opportunity in class to talk with the instructor.  Be prepared to provide documentation (actual graded work).  Use the remaining class time to finish and submit any and all missing ungraded work.  Be sure to staple your work in chronological order (oldest paper on top and most recent on the bottom).
