I had an account last year and why is it not working?
Accounts are deactivated each year. In order to re-activate the account, the parent/guardian must visit their school and present photo ID. Note: CCPS will retain returning students password.
How quickly will students’ grades be
entered into Grades To GO!?
Grades will be entered in a timely manner.
It is not expected, however, that a
test or major assignment will be graded
and entered into Grades To GO! the
same day it is completed.
Why are assignments weighted?
Some assignments, such as tests, quizzes,
and final projects, count more than others,
such as class participation
or homework, toward the
final grade. The higher the
weight, the greater the
value.
What are formative and summative
assessments?
Formative assessments are used to determine
how students are doing as they are
learning new content; for example, homework,
class work and class participation.
Summative assessments are used to determine
how well a student has learned a unit
of study; for example, tests, quizzes, projects,
and reports.
How is the honor roll calculation in secondary school different from honor roll calculation in elementary school?
In elementary school, there are no + (plus) or - (minus) grades and a student makes the honor roll with a 3.0 average and no more than one (1) C grade.
Secondary schools have +(plus) and - (minus) grades and the honor roll is calculated as follows: 3.0 average with no more than one (1) C or C+ grade and no grade of C- or below.
What are NG and T grades?
A grade of NG is given when a
student has not received a
grade for an assignment. A
grade of T is used when a student
has transferred into or out
of a course. NG and T grades are not
used in the calculation of a student's
average.
Even though I can see my child's grades
online, will students still receive interim
and report card grades?
Yes. Grades To GO! provides additional
information for parents. Interim
progress reports and report cards will
be issued each marking period.
How can I get answers to questions
about my child's grade(s)?
You can speak with your child first and
then contact the teacher. Others to contact
are the guidance counselor or principal.
What is needed to
run Grades To GO!?
Internet Explorer 5.0 or greater.
Windows 9x, NT, 2000, ME, XP,
Mac OS9 or OSX.
To check the version of Internet Explorer installed
on your computer, open Internet
Explorer and from the toolbar click Help,
and then About.
How do I download the latest version of
Internet Explorer ?

What if I forget my ID or password?
If you forget your ID, please contact the
school. If you forget your password, go to
the Grades To GO! page and click on the
"forgot your password" link.
What happens if my child changes schools
within the CCPS system?
Your same ID and password will reflect the
new school and schedule.
Can someone else see my child's grades?
The only way to see a student's grades is to
use the ID and password assigned. So,
please keep that information secure!
How is the Current Average calculated?
There are many factors involved in calculating
a student's average such as assignment
weight, grade type, and the Summative/
Formative % defined for the course. Please
refer to the Grading Policy icon on the
Grades To GO! home page.
