Did you go with WhippleHill? We use them and what we have done is make
the grade book available to advisors, dorm folk, and the students. The
students really appreciate being able to check their grades. We do not
want the parents involved with every assignment, however. They have
access to the report cards. The only one they are not given access to
is our 3-week grades at the beginning of the year. This is for the kids
and teachers to make sure that no student is overwhelmed and sinking.
This has worked well for us. The parents understand our rationale about
teaching the kids to be responsible and they back off for the most part.
Feel free to contact me or our Academic Dean for more info,

Hello,
=20
I'm researching the use of online grades and would like to gather
information on the processes that some of you have used to implement
them, or decide against them, at your schools. It would be great to hear
about the challenges and benefits you've experienced.

Many thanks,
