FALL SEMESTER GRADES AVAILABLE
We hope you all had a great first week back! Please be aware that Fall 2020 Semester
grades will be posted today, Friday, January 8, for all grade levels.

High School Families
Fall semester grades will be available to students and parents in Aeries beginning at 1 p.m.
today, Friday, January 8. If students were enrolled in an academic dual enrollment class with
Citrus College this past fall and have successfully submitted their grades per the directions
previously provided, those grades will be reflected in the student’s transcripts as well.

Middle School Families
CSArts-SGV conservatory grades are available in your DUSD Aeries portal for viewing. The
Aeries portal at your academic institution will be the place to view your official transcript,
which includes your academic and conservatory grades.

Aeries vs. Schoology
Please note that the Aeries portal provides students and their parents with progress and
semester report card grades, including the Fall 2020 Semester grade report. A student’s
official transcript is built over time, made up of semester grades. CSArts-SGV does not mail
home grade reports, but they are viewable to high school parents and students on the Aeries
portal at familysis.sgv.csarts.net. If you do not have an Aeries account or have forgotten your
password, please contact CSArts-SGV Tech Support at techsupport@csarts.net for
assistance.

Schoology, on the other hand, provides day-to-day and week-to-week assignments, updates,
and grades. Fall 2020 courses, with the exception of Advanced Placement (AP) courses, will
be archived in Schoology on Sunday, January 10. Students' Spring 2021 courses are
already in Schoology and active. Please direct questions regarding grades to the specific
teacher. If you have not signed up for Schoology, please contact Nicole Read
at nicole.read@sgv.csarts.net to attain your parent access code. Instructions for creating a
Schoology account are located on our website here.

INTRODUCING THE EARLY COLLEGE PROGRAM
CSArts-SGV has been partnering with Citrus College for the last two years to provide
students with dual enrollment arts conservatory classes, taught on our campus. We are
pleased to announce that we are in the process of formalizing our Early College Program to
include academic courses as well, beginning in the 2021-2022 school year! To learn more
