[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am shocked at how many people are saying the onus is on the kids / parents. It is to an extent, but failing every class should be sending off alarm bells with everyone.

Good luck to you, OP. My DC went through WMS and is now at YHS, and I got no support from the school until DC was failing every class - a fact of which the attendees at the 504 meeting were unaware, even though it was the primary reason for the 504 - and had to be partially hospitalized for depression. And I raised the issue with teachers, counselors, admin, requested meetings, etc. ALL THROUGH MIDDLE SCHOOL, and WMS was USELESS.

Good luck to you, OP, and if you can leave APS, do it.[/quote]

They did.  Grades and assignments are posted online.  Parents and students see the grades and can see if anything is missing.  That is the notification.  Now you expect teachers to call and say “I am posting everything but want to make sure you are actually looking at it.”   What’s next? A phone call to make sure you read an email?

This is not elementary school anymore.  Teachers notify with an online grades and the kid can follow up if they need more assistance.  [/quote]
