Grade Change Request Form

[Anonymous]

Has anyone completed one of these forms or had one completed on behalf of their child? What is the procedure for filing? Who is it filed with? When does the 45 days after the marking period ends (date it ends or date grades turned in?)

Is this a real thing?

This isn’t at all how it works. The registrar will only accept a form completed by the teacher or administrator.

One of my kid's teacher's forgot to calculate something and did it for just about every kid in the class last year: it just happened.

Another teacher marked everything during my kid's Covid isolation as 50% and told them not to do those things. When they checked in, and I checked in, asking "are you sure?" they said "yeah, it's excused, I'll remove them." But they didn't, and they left the school. So I had my kid write the counselor and I wrote too (it was complicated) and they did the form and it changed.

It's not something you just fill out. But I suppose it's something a kid can initiate if it's simple enough, as in "you input my score wrong" or "this wasn't graded and I had turned it in" or something.

The question was directed to teachers or administrators, not parents. The form itself states to be signed by the teacher and principal. I thought teachers and administrators were on this forum.

Then try a Teachers and Administrators Forum, not DCUM Urban MOMs (and Dads).

It is. We are. You still can’t initiate it.

I had a situation where the school didn’t follow my sons IEP. I contacted the case manager and they agreed to give my son a month to complete certain work that was newly assigned. He did and they submitted a grade change form. Grade went from an F to a D, but for a kid with severe disabilities, that was a life changer.

If it was an F, it wasn’t MCPS.
