MyClass Account for Report Cards

By

On December 10, 2019 E-Report cards will be available through your parent MyClass account at https://myedbc.sd42.ca/MyClass. (Login is at the top right-hand corner of the page).  THSS is no longer handing out paper report cards for students.

If you are experiencing difficulty logging into your MyClass account, please review  the parent brochure for instructions or contact myclass@sd42.ca.

All students also have access to MyClass.  Please review the student brochure for complete instructions.

On December 10 and for 90 days afterwards, the report cards will be on the landing page as a pdf under “published reports.” Once you have access to the report card, you may print or save a copy for your records. Please note that it will only be available for 90 days.

Should you have any questions regarding marks, please contact the subject teacher directly.  Teacher email addresses can be located here.

Once report cards have been released, mark changes will not be reflected on the electronic report card, however they will be recorded in the student’s permanent record and transcript.  Transcripts can be found by accessing FAMILY – top tab, TRANSCRIPTS – side tab.

Setting up your MyClass Account before December Report Cards

By

Term 1 report cards come out in mid-December and we want to ensure that students and parents are ready when the time comes. Thomas Haney does not provide printed report cards for students or parents. Instead, all parents and students should be using MyClass to view, save and print the report cards.  MyClass is the parent/student interface that allows you to view your student’s attendance, course selections as well as progress and report cards.

The district has two parent access sites, the Parent Portal and MyClass. They are two separate websites.

  • The Parent Portal is used for fee payments, field trip permissions, entering student absences, ordering yearbooks, registration, announcements and more.
  • MyClass gives you access to view student attendance and report cards.

The following link provides information and instructions for set-up.
MyClass website

If you have never logged into MyClass, please check your email (including your TRASH, SPAM or JUNK files) for a message from System Admin (sysadmin@…) for login details for the “Family Portal Account”. If you have not received an email, please email MyClass@sd42.ca for assistance.

School Safety Notification System

By

The Maple Ridge – Pitt Meadows School District has updated its School Safety Notification System in collaboration with the Ridge Meadows RCMP. The revised notification system follows provincial recommendations and covers the six following scenarios:

Drop, Cover, and Hold – Used in the event of an earthquake, explosion, or any event that shakes the school.

Hold and Secure – Used when there is a security concern, such as a police incident, in the neighbourhood of the school.

Lockdown – Used to prevent intruders from entering occupied areas of the school, or in times when it is necessary to isolate students and staff from a danger outside or within the building.

Shelter in Place – Used as a short-term measure to protect students and staff from potential dangers outside the school (e.g. environmental weather-related emergencies, dangerous wild animals on school grounds, or a missing child).

Room Clear – Used to move people away from a hazard contained in one room/area.
