<p>okay so my school uses parent connect and honestly it's screwed up. </p>
<p>my friend's in student life committee and she said they're thinking of using another online thing where you can access your grades and stuff and i suggested school loop cause i know my public school does it and that's the only other one i know of .. </p>
<p>but do you guys know any that you actually like and isn't screwed up?</p>

<p>No; our transcripts are straight-up ink and tears.</p>
<p>Edline...unfortunately
I like the fact that you can access your grades constantly and the fact that you can access homework and assignments on it. However, I hate having parents know all about what I'm doing during a certain week of school, and if I get a bad grade on a quiz (which doesn't really affect my grade), they'll ask me about it. It gets annoying having your parents have all that information.</p>
<p>Aeries. It helps a ton to be able to check your grades. Teachers can't pull any "fast ones" on you, and you can inform them of mistakes in input which occur a lot.</p>
<p>yup...it's great since you can track what you missed, mistakes, absences, etc. we no longer get progress reports because of it</p>
<p>Nope, just paper progress reports and report cards.</p>
<p>My sister's school tried it, then dropped it for unknown reasons. As of now my school has no plans to do this.</p>
<p>Well, our school uses Skyward Family Access. Most everyone and their parents like having the ability to check grades, and it estimates what you're getting for semester based on your current and past quarter grades (obviously it's a pretty crude estimate, though). It has information about the money you owe, how much money you have in your lunch account, attendance, etc.</p>
<p>So far, there hasn't been any major problems with it. We had one recently, but that was a person in the office who made it a mistake, but it was a pretty limited problem and easily fixed. I guess some of the teachers had a slightly hard time adjusting to it, though.</p>
<p>hmm .. i sent these websites to my friend through email. </p>
<p>thanks guys, parent connect does no good. first of all, it's only meant for parents and hence my parents dont get the point that EVERY OTHER PARENT gives their kid the password so that they can check their grades ... but it is saved on my laptop so i can look at them anyway. </p>
<p>that's why i'd rather have something that BOTH me and my parents can access. along with that, my gpa on there is totally wrong and ... </p>
<p>the community service department has to enter our hours like they're a grade ...</p>
<p>yes, but there are often times mistakes.</p>
<p>edline. totally sucks, especially since teachers dont even input stuff except when required to for the end of the grading period (every 6 weeks)</p>
<p>We have one. I think it's better to not have it. It's so stressful and all we care about is our grades. The teachers are also stressed about by the demands of grade by both students and parents constantly.</p>
<p>It can also ruin your day!</p>
<p>My school uses parent connect too, but they just started using student connect as well which provides us students with a different username/password than our parents. I'm not sure what the point is really, I always used my parents' to check my grades, but there aren't really any major problems with the way it works here...</p>
<p>Yeah, Powerschool</p>

<p>One of my favorite teachers had to go another school to teach because so many students complained to higher levels about him putting in grades slowly (those dang students...)</p>
<p>yes... it's called parent connect... wahhhhhhhhhhhhhh</p>
<p>Our school uses Pinnacle. It's pretty straightforward, listing current (and past) grades for every class. If you click on the grades, you get a list of individual assignments/tests and grades.</p>
<p>Honestly, I'm glad to have it. I'd rather find out a test grade after school in the privacy of my room than find out the next day and sweat at my desk while the teacher tosses papers back. Parents are given separate usernames and passwords, but mine never check it.</p>
<p>edline!!! i like edline. my teachers actually use it and every week graes are updated.</p>
<p>My school has been using PowerSchool for about two years, but horribly ineffectively up until about two months ago. It was supposed to allow students to check their grades (obviously), but no student was able to log on until January of this year. Only parents with different usernames and passwords could log on, and kids got in trouble for using the parent usernames to log on. Finally, after a year and a half, they let us check our own freaking grades.</p>
<p>we use edline (edline.net)
i think its pretty nice
cause the teachers also get pages where they can post assignments/calendars/etc</p>
<p>mine uses Skyward Family Access. it's pretty good, shows quarter, semester, and midterm grades, and lunch money balance, etc.</p>
<p>it's pretty convienent to have. we've had it for three years.</p>
