[quote=Anonymous]Word of advice when the school points to passing grades in Synergy/Parentvue or report cards saying that the child is making progress - GO INTO YOUR CHILD’S CANVAS ACCOUNT AND SUBMIT TO THE SCHOOL TEAM THE INFORMATION IN CANVAS.

MCPS has two grade books. For a child with ADHD, the two grade books can almost look like two different children.  Synergy/Parentvue grade book leaves off information such as how many assignments are turned in late.  Synergy/Parentvue can lag weeks behind Canvas so missing assignments might not show up till the report card grades are due.Then there are the 50% for work not done that makes it appear that a child attempted an assignment when the assignment was just missed. The more damaging practice in MCPS to cover up problems is when failing grades in Canvas are converted to full credit in Synergy/Parentvue or blanket exemptions to pass a child along.

The grade inflation in Synergy/Parentvue makes it seem like a child is successful when Canvas shows a child that is really struggling.  For past Canvas data - last year or first semester, send an email to your Principal who will stall but will need to produce within 45 days.  You then should ask for another IEP meeting to review the data from Canvas.[/quote]
