When looking in PowerSchool, click on the percent for the course. All the assignments that make-up that score will appear. The teacher discourages the practice of searching only for missing work when checking grades; that does not give the full picture of what's going on in the student's progress.
For Mrs. Harris’ classes, the most recent assignments are listed first. For symbols, consult the legend at the bottom where PowerSchool explains what the symbols signify.
For each assignment, the teacher provides a description. Click on the word VIEW on the far right to see that ASSIGNMENT DESCRIPTION.
If a SCORE COMMENT pops up first, that’s a personal note left by the teacher about the student’s performance on that assignment. The ASSIGNMENT DESCRIPTION is next to it.
Within that ASSIGNMENT DESCRIPTION, sometimes the teacher has provided a link to the digital copy of it on the teacher’s webpage. This is not the student’s work; it is the handout given to the student.
For 7th ELA, students keep graded work in their ELA pocket folder, in their personal file folders in the classroom, or in our GDrive shared folder.
