Now that D is in high school, she has an id to look at her online grades herself. I gave her mine to use in middle school to encourage her to keep track. Sometimes teachers post upcoming assignments (tests, quizes) out there with no grade yet before they tell the class about the test!

Sometimes I wish the teachers were more timely about posting grades, but all in all it has been a benefit for us. It only becomes all about the parents following up if we let it...
