Teachers may register and create an
online gradebook that can provide parents with password protected access to
their child's academic information. While the site displays
"family friendly" links and ads on your gradebook, an annual fee
of $29 may be paid to have those ads NOT be displayed if you prefer a
"clean" site. This link is to the introductory information
about the gradebook and has links to the actual place to register and start
the gradebook. It also includes a link to a sample of what the
gradebook looks like. (Note: Issues of privacy and
security of student records are concerns in many districts. Use of
online gradebook software is currently under study in Blue Valley and
teachers are cautioned to limit any use to experimentation and refrain from
posting substantive student information.)
