Grades: Who Needs to Know?
At the high school level, students are ultimately held accountable for classroom performance. Therefore, it is very important that they have a clear picture of all grades received on assignments, quizzes, projects, and tests. This allows the students the ability to effectively communicate with teachers and parents about classroom performance. Students may choose to keep in a notebook a record of graded tasks. However, the most accurate reflection of classroom performance is through I-Parent. Even if a student does not have internet access at home, computers in the media center are available so that the child can log on and check grades.
However, some parents are reluctant to allow their children access for fear that passwords will be changed by the children in an effort to hide less than desirable grades. While such instances have occurred, with a simple telephone call, the situation can be remedied. Though this may be an inconvenience, it is also a foolproof solution to any password alterations that may occur.
Grades lead to credits and credits lead to a high school diploma. Walking the path to get to that all-important document takes commitment from the student, support from the parent, and communication with the teachers. I-Parent access helps ensure that all parties have an accurate accounting of what is occurring in the classroom which allows for effective communication. Grade access needs to be a family affair!

Looking Ahead |
Are you on track?
Whether you are a senior or a sophomore, you MUST be aware of the credits you have earned! Remember, to be placed in a sophomore homeroom, you must have five credits while it takes ten credits to be considered a junior. Seniors must have sixteen credits in order to be in a senior homeroom. If you are unsure of the number of credits you have earned, make an appointment with your counselor. There are several ways to make up credits, and your counselor is the expert on that topic! Do not wait until your senior year to decide to get back on the path to graduation! |
