Grades

Gradebook

Gradebook is our parent portal to the online Gradebook. You can see what classes your student is taking, what assignments, test, and quizzes have been given and turned in, and what grade your student earned. You can send an email to any of your student’s teachers or sign up for email alerts if your student’s grade for any class falls below a certain point.

You can also see how many times your student has been absent from or tardy to school.

Gradebook requires a parent login which is provided by the Cheldelin registrar. Please contact the school office if you need help logging in.

Grade Reports

Important Gradebook Grading Dates

On the dates listed below all teachers will have their Gradebook updated by 5pm. Our hope is that this will allow parents and students to check Gradebook every other week for up to date assignment/assessment completion and grades. There are some assignments/assessments that may be listed as T for turned in but not yet be graded as the grading process will take longer to complete for those entries.
