Welcome to the Home Access Center page for all of your grading needs.
The Home Access Center is St. Mary's County on-line grade book, and it is accessible 24 hours a day/7 days a week.
Here are a few guidelines for "deciphering" the HAC system:
We do not enter grades on a particular day, rather grades are entered as each assignment is complete. Please allow up to two weeks for projects and longer assignments.
If a grade does not appear under a released assignment, the student was absent and extended time was given. Any work not completed when the assignment is entered into HAC will be recorded as a zero. Each teacher has her own policy about how and when late work is accepted and graded, so if you have any questions about a particular subject, please contact the appropriate teacher.
Please ask your child about the missing assignment before contacting the teachers.
Process grades (40% of total quarter grade): These grades reflect the student's knowledge as the content is being learned.
Product grades (60% of total quarter grade): These grades reflect the student's mastery of the content, and therefore, are weighted accordingly.
Each parent and guardian is given a log-in name and password. You must have these before you are able to access the site. Please contact the Secretary to the Principal if you do not have this information.
As always, if you have any questions that are not answered here, please do not hesitate to contact us.
