Gradespeed Information
Croft is among the first wave of schools in Metro to introduce Gradespeed, an online gradebook and attendance record that will enable parents and teachers to communicate quickly about a student's status. We are very excited to bring this opportunity to our school community and look forward to an improved partnership with our parents, teachers, and students.
Gradespeed will allow a parent to sign up to be able to track his/her child's grades and attendance at any time. It is private, with access and viewing privileges limited to only the child's parent(s). We encourage all parents to login and check on their child's progress frequently, and to stay in contact with the child's teachers. You may sign up for more than one child by clicking on the appropriate link.
Gradespeed has a few components that need special attention. Please be advised that street addresses are limited to 17 characters (including spaces); entering more than 17 characters will cause the program to reject your address (even if you know it is correct). You will need to enter the child's birthdate as it's shown in the following example:
05/14/97
New this year is that Metro is updating its student numbers from social security numbers to another, separate number. You will need this number in order to add a child to Gradespeed. Please contact either of the email addresses below to obtain your child's unique student number so that you can access Gradespeed.
Finally, it is extremely important that you correctly enter your email address as it is not possible to make changes to it once you have submitted.
This is a learning curve for all of us, parents, teachers, and administration alike. If at any time you have a problem or a question, please contact either Mrs. McCann or Mrs. Upchurch and we will endeavor to fix whatever issue you are having.
We are so excited to offer this program and hope you will find it helpful and informative.
