Now it's mostly B's and C's." She wants to know what is going on? Why didn't you let me know? We need to meet immediately to discuss this problem, I am sick and tired of this school system failing my child. How would you approach this situation? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) In my district, we use Infinite Campus. I give my students extra credit points at the beginning of the school year if their parents sign up for the app. The Campus Portal allows parents to receive a notification each time a grade is entered in any class. They can see an "active average". They are also allowed to view attendance. So each time their student is tardy to a class or absent from school, they receive a notification to their phones. I also use an app call Remind 101. This allows me to send out announcements to particular classes. The parents are also able to chat directly with me without having my phone number. This app is very safe considering no one other than the administrators at Remind 101 can delete messages. That ensures there is no back and forth about what was said, and what was not.
