The website for students and parents to check grades has changed due to a software update by the state of Arkansas.
Home Access Center, or HAC, allows guardians to view attendance, class schedule, grades, interim progress report grades, and report card grades. The new address for Home Access Center is http://hac20.esp.k12.ar.us. Once on the webpage, users should scroll down to the list of school districts to West Side (Cleburne County).
Grades in online, distance-learning courses are not available through HAC; students in concurrent college courses and online high school courses use Power Panel, a learning management system, to check grades. Guardians should ask student to log into Power Panel and show them grades in each course.
Questions? Please contact the High School office at (501) 825-7241.
