Pinnacle Parent Internet Viewer (PIV)

This year communication with parents in terms of grades, discipline and attendance will be greatly enhanced. The Augusta School System has purchased a product from Excelsior Software, the Pinnacle Grade Book, that allows teachers to electronically maintain their grades. This data, including attendance and discipline, is available to the administrative staff as well as the guidance counselors and provides up to date information about student performance. Another feature available with this package is the Parent Internet Viewer or PIV.  This popular Pinnacle option provides secure access and requires no additional data entry work for teachers or administrators. PIV takes this information and relays it back to your school’s Internet server where parents access it using unique ID-numbers and PIN codes.

The following reports are available:

• Teacher comments
• Future assignments
• Missing assignments
• Assignment and test scores
• Discipline
• Attendance
• Individual class performance
• Grades to date

and more!

Your child’s homeroom advisor was provided with the Pinnacle access information. The advisors then reviewed Pinnacle access and provided passwords to their students.  Students should then provide their parents with that information.  If your child was at Cony last year, then the access codes would remain the same. Please contact your child’s homeroom advisor if you have any questions about access codes or if your child states that they do not have that information.  The website for Pinnacle access is http://excelsior.augustaschools.org/Pinnacle/PIVand the program will guide you through the process.  If you are having difficulty obtaining access please email Mr. Brittner at sbrittner@augustaschools.org
