I don't know if they were already in place for middle or elementary school. Anyway, I do my grades the old-fashioned way...in a gradebook, by hand. LOL. I did use to use a computer program...not sure why I stopped. I think because I use a system of checks for most of the work the kids hand in, and I don't think you can use checks in a computer program. But it should be easy enough to come up with a way to post their on-going grades, though my gradebook is open to them whenever they want to look at it.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('1515','Nancy'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('1515','Nancy','We just started doing progress reports for high school this year.

I can't believe NYCS doesn't do progress reports normally. Or, that's what I gathered from what you wrote. My school does a progress report every four weeks. So they get a 4, 8, 12 week progress report and then the 16 week is the final report card and the grade that counts. In addition, parents can either pick up the progress reports on Parent Night or Back to School Night; otherwise they are mailed home. Another thing I do is similar to you. I regularly post grades in my room, only their ID number to ID them as well. My students stop at the grade wall daily. They always are checking if I updated it. It becomes a focal point and it is right when they walk in. Besides the grades, all the assignments, their scores on that assignment and what they are missing are posted. Oh, and absents and tardies as well. I love EZGradePro. I'm sure posting the grades will help. I suggest doing it every week or two, you'll see, they check it and start initiating conversations about their work before you have to :) Enjoy your winter break!<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('1514','Tamara Eden'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('1514','Tamara Eden','Wow!\r\n\r\nI can\'t believe NYCS doesn\'t do progress reports normally.
