Last day for term 1 grades to be updated?

[Anonymous]

My 11th grader has a low grade in an AP class in which she's made up/redone assignments, which the teacher has accepted, but the updated grades are not in Aspen yet! Anyone know what the actual deadline is for grades to be in?

Here's the timeline provided by Central that our DCPS principal shared with staff:
By Wednesday November 12: Teachers must enter term 1 grades in Aspen.
By Friday, November 14: Principals and grade managers review and confirm grade entry.
By Monday, November 17: STARS will publish term 1 report cards to the Aspen Parent Portal.
By Wednesday November 19: Schools must mail report cards to families. (Reminder: IEP progress reports must be included in the mailing for all students with disabilities.)

If your child isn’t in special education, you wouldn’t.

My school told us today was the deadline.

Did anyone have a teacher not record any engagement grades for a student? Is that allowed? My kid has a 92.3 average in a class. I feel like of any engagement grade had been included, my kid probably would’ve bumped up to a 93.0 and changed from an A minus to a A.

That isn’t allowed. Send a screenshot to the principal of the breakdowns.

Yes I've seen this before. ASPEN still makes a whole grade, but in general it shouldn't be allowed. Not sure the principal would do anything, but I guess it is worth a try.

NP and most principals will do something because it is blatantly against the grading policy. If that doesn’t make a change, email the superintendent. They don’t want to deal with what they deem minor parent complaints so a change will happen after that.
