To check student grades click the link to the lower right.
Once on that page, you will have to select the physics class and then enter two identifying numbers for the student.
The student id number is first and it is just the student's PPS 6 digit id number.
The next is the individual password which is the birthday: MMDDYYYY. 8 digits, no dashes, slashes or spaces.
Please contact me if the numbers or links don't work.
Thanks
