Parents Checking Grades Online
More and more schools are setting up their student record systems to allow parents to log in and check student grades on a regular basis. Some students aren’t too keen on it, but parents really like it. The experience of schools doing this is discussed in an online edition of the Lexington newspaper at www.kentucky.com/mld/heraldleader/news/6742823.htm.
It appears that allowing this access improves parent involvement and communication. That makes sense, of course - the more you open up the process to parents, the more they’ll feel like true partners.
