Parent Portal Guidelines & Help Information
The portal will allow you to see your child’s demographic information, attendance, discipline, report card, and gradebook. Please keep the following guidelines in mind:
- Please keep your password confidential.
- Expect a reasonable amount of time for grade posting, keeping in mind that preparing lessons is the first priority. In addition, expect differences in posting time between content areas.
- Be aware of the fact that an average may not be the exact average as grades fluctuate based on the weight of the assignment. For example, if several homework assignments are posted (which have little weight) followed by a major test grade, the student’s average could have a significant change.
- If you have a question about a grade, speak to your child first. There may be a situation of which your child is aware and may save you from making a call to a teacher.
- Remember: The grade book for each teacher will be current eight (8) times a year: interims & marking period. These dates are listed on the home & school calendar. Teachers have 3 school days following the end of the grading period in which to post all grading period grades. For example, the home and school calendar shows the end of the middle school mid-marking period to be October 8th. All grades for that marking period in the middle school will be posted by October 14th.
- Grades are not finalized until the end of the marking period.
We look forward to our continued partnership and our district’s move toward enhanced communication between home and school.
