Gone are the days of teachers having graph like grade books that they hold all their information in to only be disclosed at mid-term and the end of the marking period. Gone are the days of the easy grader, or pencil and calculator being pulled out to calculate grades. Welcome to the 21st century, where we now have online grade books, online attendance books, and instant access as parents, teachers and students to the progress being made in the classroom.
Many school districts have adopted these online grade books district wide, handing out passwords for parents at open house, allowing parents to receive daily, weekly, and sometimes even hourly notifications of their child’s attendance and grades. This use of technology takes the guess work out of the age old question “how is my child doing in school?”
