I want to know how to sign up to see how my son is doing is school. He is pulling some below average grades and I need to know more specific what is going on. At his age it is very difficult to get him to talk and tell me how he feels. If there is something going on I want to know. Could someone please tell me what I need to do in order to find out academically what is going on ? Thank you
