FACTS SIS & Teacher/class Web Pages
FACTS SIS (formerly RenWeb) is an important school management system we use at Barat Academy. It includes a lot of important information such as your grades.
Teachers and students use Google Classroom to collaborate and share work in the classroom. Your child has access to homework assignments and other course resources on the pages for each of his or her classes.
