To access Gradebooks, look in the "Progress" tab on your students profile in My Acona. Hint: Click your child's name in the top-left corner of the My Ancona portal after signing in (or, click "Children", then your child's name if you have more than one child).
In 5th through 8th grade, Ancona maintains grade books that allow parents and students to view active and past homework assignments, classrooms assignments, tests, quizzes and their teacher markings. In 7th & 8th grades, these markings weighted to show the resulting letter grade.
Parents should be able to tell what homework is active so that they can help to direct their children at home appropriately.
Parents should be able to tell if their student is struggling (and might need support) with a topic based on the gradebook.
Grading/marking of assignments by teachers is generally done within two weeks of being turned in.
Rubrics are sometimes used as alternatives to assignment grades.
