iParent Trimester 1 iParent opens on October 1 to view grades, 2 weeks later progress report comments will be available, usually comment on grades C or below, depends on the situation Trimester 1 Grades Close 11/25, report card online Rankbook update: can be about every 2 weeks, however I tend to update each week if there is a grade to add graded assignments are returned to students before putting grades in iParent.

Grading Timeline HW: immediate feedback if checked and gone over in class, collected homework 1-3 days depending on length of assignment Quiz/Test: 2 days-1 week Projects: 1-2 weeks Lab Reports: This takes me the longest to grade, I try for 2-3 weeks but on occasion it could be longer for a full lab report, students do correct them before handing in so they get a sense of how they did.
