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.

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

I think I have literally never gotten an IEP progress report. That is news ti me.

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

My school told us today was the deadline.

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?
