Yes... through the SIS program, high school teachers can view all of the grades of their current students.

Thank you. Can any teacher, even if they do not teach the student?

Probably. Wouldn't you want your kid's coach, who is also the Spanish teacher, to keep tabs on your kid's eligibility, even if your kid is taking French?

Why the paranoia, OP?

No, only an administrator.

No, teachers can see the student's grade only if you currently have them as a student. Of course, a teacher may be able to know students' grades through other teachers or by asking counselors/admin.

No. Only the teachers of the student can see their grades. Beyond that, the only people with access to the grades are people who have full access to the SIS program (think administrators, sped department chairs, etc)

Not paranoia. Just curious. A teacher did something very nice for my son and mentioned that part of the reason was his work ethic that is reflected not just in her class but other of my son's classes as well. I wondered if she could know about his work ethic from look at his grades in SIS or if it had to be from talking to other teachers. Based on this thread, it seems either could have occurred.

A teacher does something nice and you're questioning it?

Of course all your son's teachers can see his grades!

I don't think this is intuitive. I would have thought the opposite. She's not questioning the sentiment. She's questioning how this teacher knew.

+1. PP's "Of course" comment was jerky.

Yes we can see all their grades, but only if we currently teach them. If they’re not in our roster, their info isn’t available to us for FERPA reasons. It’s very helpful to be able to see what they have in other classes to determine patterns so we can support . If it’s ONLY my class they’re failing, that tells me is an issue to my class or content most likely. If it’s ALL their classes, there’s something bigger at play. If it’s only morning or only afternoon classes, there might be attendance issues causing that. It’s very helpful information for us.

My DS plays sports. I know the coaches are given the GPA's of their athletes for eligibility purposes. I don't know if the report is just the GPA or if it lists individual courses with grades. It doesn't matter if the coach is a teacher at the school or not. DS' swim coach is not a teacher. At our winter sports award, the coach was handing out academic pins to all the swimmers who had a 4.0 or above and he was reading from a piece of paper.

Another teacher here and I agree with the PP. Seeing grades can show patterns.

I only look at other grades if I have a concern. If a student has a D in my class, but As and Bs elsewhere, I need to know that. Something is going on in my classroom. We are not on islands. Teachers need to work together and share data.

OP, I’m curious why this bothers you. I’m a professional. I’m not going to make judgments or use this data poorly. Is there a reason you don’t trust me or wouldn’t want me to be able to see the big picture?
