Make sure you are
on the correct
Grading Period.
Click on one of the
“Course” names in the left
column to navigate to the
“Progress Details” screen
where you can see
assignments and other
information that have been
recorded for that subject
or “course”.
Progress Details
In the “Progress Details” area, you can see assignment names/descriptions as well as
weights, marks, and comments if any were recorded. There will be a separate “Progress
Details” area for each subject or class and grading period.
“Daily Comments” for the particular class will display under the assignments. In addition to
viewing the assignments by date, you can also view them grouped by assignment type or by
assessment type.
Links to print a Report for your child or to view Dublinʼs District Grading Scale are also
available at the bottom of this screen. The grading scale is only applicable for students in
grades 4 and 5 who are receiving letter grades.
If an assignment is listed as “Missing”, there is a recorded score of “0” and this will negatively
impact the studentʼs average until the assignment is completed.
If an assignment is listed as “Late”, the assignment is ignored in the calculations and will not
negatively impact the studentʼs average. This message is to notify students and parents of
assignments that are considered “late” and need to be completed.
