Student Gradebook & the Daily Plan in the OLS
At this time, we are continuing to adjust settings within the Gradebook and for most students grades are not pulling correctly in their Gradebook in the OLS.
Remember to follow the On-Track Calendar daily and your student's grade WILL reflect their work when it comes time for Report Cards.
Additionally, we are continuing to adjust the daily plan for students in the OLS to align to assignments on the Bison On-Track calendar. ALWAYS follow the On-Track Calendar. IT IS YOUR GOLDEN TICKET TO SUCCESS!
We appreciate your patience as both of these are items, we will continue to work on them behind the scenes. If you continue to see a discrepancy beginning Thursday, October 1st, please contact your homeroom teacher and we will look at this on a student by student basis.
Please don’t worry about grades during the first few weeks of school. These days are spent learning routines and getting to know students as you build a foundation for the year. Teachers will alert you to when everything is ready and you can start monitoring Gradebook. For now, just remember daily logging in and using the Bison On-Track Calendar is the priority.
