•Click Family Access link
•Enter login and password
Lists all assignments from all classes
that are considered missing!
What does an * mean?
The grade has not been
posted in the gradebook!
• An * does NOT affect the average
• A “zero” DOES affect the average
• Skyward makes an assignment
missing 5 days after the due date.
An asterisk . . . what now?
What to do if I see an * in the grade book:
1. Look at the due date!
2. If the due date was 1/21/11 and today is 1/22/11,
chances are the teacher hasn’t graded the
assignment …check back.
3. If the due date was 1/21/11 and today is 2/5/11,
ask your child about the missing grade…was it
completed, was it turned in?
An asterisk . . . what now?
Always check with your child FIRST!
• Please keep in the mind the length of time
that may be needed to grade an
assignment.
• For example, a research paper will take
longer to grade and record than a
worksheet might!
An asterisk . . . what now?
• Many teachers enter a 0 for a missing assignment
rather than leaving it as an * so the resulting
student average reflects the actual grade in the
event the assignment is not completed and/or
turned in!
• Once the assignment is turned in and graded, the 0
will be changed to the actual grade if the work was
made up within the time allowed by the teacher!
Comments written by teacher is for the
six weeks grading period.
FAMILY ACCESS
Family Access can serve as a tool to
communicate grading and attendance
concerns with your child.
Having a discussion with your
child may answer many of your
questions and save a phone call.
