Parent’s Guide to Sycamore

This document is intended to help you become familiar with viewing your children’s grades and class information using the St. Joseph School’s management software (Sycamore).

Log into Sycamore:

At the beginning of the school year, you should received an email regarding an invitation to join Sycamore. If you no longer have that email and wish to have an invitation sent to you, please call either front offices at 935-4935 or 935-4936 , with the your child’s name. An invitation will be sent at that point. (If you’re new to the school, sycamore login will ask you change your password).

To View the Student Handbook:

2. On the left hand side you see a menu item labeled School, if you click on that you should see a sub-level menu item labeled documents.

Homeroom Events:
