High School Report Card Information:
High School Report Cards
Starting with the 2017-18 school year, Skaneateles High School will no longer print and mail home paper report cards. Instead, following the end of each marking period, parents will be notified via School Messenger when their child’s report card is ready to view in the School Tool Parent Portal.

It will include the student’s final grades for the marking period, as well as teacher comments. It can be printed from any computer.
