| After School Help and Group Fusion If you need help after school, you can come in any day. I am usually here until 3 P.M. five days a week unless I have a meeting. I am also here on Tuesdays and Thursdays until 4 P.M. If you are experiencing delays in the SchoolFusion automated email process, parents and students can view the most recent homework and student activity updates by logging in to our school Web site and clicking on “Recent Activity” or “My Family.” Also, if you have not entered your email address in the My Personal Settings section of Group Fusion, please do so to make it easier for me to reply to your questions.
