[quote=Anonymous]Synergy is back up this morning. I would expect you can see grades in ParentVue now.

Report cards will be distributed on Tuesday 11/15, which I think means they will create the files by end of this week in order to print them (they are done centrally and then distributed to schools). I think the report card pdf appears under documents usually the weekend before the paper copies are sent home.

Nothing can change at this point with respect to the report card generation, so if you think something is incorrect, there is no need for a rush to fix it. Be polite in your communications. If there is just an honest mistake (paper misplaced, thought the grade had been entered, etc.) the teacher can fix it by putting in a grade change request to the school registrar via an internal form. This is the same process for an incomplete (I). If you and the teacher disagree about the situation, you can more formally request a grade correction using this form:

Personally, I wouldn't bother about any MS courses and grade changes. Chalk errors up to experience and how to monitor and handle the situation better next time. For HS, choose your battles wisely. Remember that MCPS has a heavy curve for semester grade calculation, which is what is on the transcript. BA=A, CB=B etc. And if the issue is that 1st qtr grade is a borderline high C but DC turned in an assignment after the deadline hoping the teacher would take and now you think DC can't get an A for the semester .... Stop and have a conversation with the teacher. Teachers can override the automatic semester grade calculation. If a kid wants an A, then I tell them I need to see A work consistently 2nd qtr, especially on quizzes and tests. If I do, I'll bump up the semester grade. [/quote]
