# Following your child's progress

> Where parents view goal trends, grades, behaviour, homework status, report cards, the permanent record, and the curriculum compass for each linked child.

Once a child is linked to your account, the parent portal gives you several read-only views of that child's academic year. Each page below shows real, current data pulled from the same records staff use, filtered down to what is appropriate for a parent to see. You cannot edit grades, behaviour records, or report cards from here. If something looks wrong, contact the school.

<Note>
  If you have more than one child linked to your account, most of these pages let you switch between children. Pages only ever show data for children you have an accepted invitation for.
</Note>

## My Progress

At **My Progress** you see a 30-day goal trend and a termly-goal trajectory for each linked child, calculated with the same projection math the school's staff dashboard uses. The trajectory classifies your child's pace toward their term PACE-count goal as one of three states.

| Status    | What it means                                                               |
| --------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| On track  | Projected PACE completions meet or exceed the term goal                     |
| At risk   | Projected completions fall short, or progress is trailing the expected pace |
| Off track | Projected completions are well below the term goal                          |

This page has no edit controls. If you have questions about a projection, raise it at a parent-teacher meeting or with the school directly.

## Grades

The **Grades** page lists your child's scores by subject, one row per PACE. A score in progress shows as N/A rather than 0%, so an unfinished PACE never reads as a failing grade. Each row also carries a pass/fail badge and a retest indicator when a PACE has been retested.

Moderation on a score is summarized into one of six parent-safe statuses:

| Status                | Meaning                                               |
| --------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------- |
| Finalized             | The score is locked in and complete                   |
| Awaiting moderation   | The score is queued for review                        |
| Under external review | The score is with an outside reviewer                 |
| Rejected              | The score was sent back and needs correction by staff |
| Flagged               | The score has been flagged for attention              |
| Unknown               | Status could not be determined                        |

You do not see who is moderating a score, their internal notes, or which review stage it is in. Those details stay internal to staff.

## Behaviour

The **Behaviour** page shows a net balance card for your child (merit and demerit counts and points, plus incident counts) and a timeline of records, newest first. Only public notes appear on the timeline. Any private note a staff member attaches to a behaviour record is never sent to your account, so it will not appear here under any circumstance.

## Homework status

The **Homework** page lists your child's assignments with status filters for All, Pending, Done, and Missed. An assignment counts as Done whether you marked it done at home or a teacher verified it, and a due-today count is shown per child. From this page you (or your child, if they hold the account) can mark a pending assignment as done and attach a short note. Marking an assignment done is the one write action available on this page; everything else here is a status view.

## Report Cards

The **Report Cards** page lists only report cards the school has published, grouped by child with the most recent term first. Report cards still in progress or awaiting distribution do not appear. Click Download on a card to generate a time-limited link and retrieve the PDF.

<Warning>
  The download link expires shortly after it is generated. If it stops working, return to the Report Cards page and click Download again.
</Warning>

## Permanent record

Each child's cumulative academic record is available per year and per subject: percentage, PACEs completed, and attendance for that year. The record intentionally does not show credits, GPA, class rank, or honor roll, and it is not a transcript. If you need an official transcript, that has to be requested from the school administrator.

## Curriculum Compass

The **Curriculum Compass** is a pan-and-zoom map of your child's curriculum journey across their subjects. It is read-only and gives you a visual sense of where your child sits in their overall course of study.

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Can I see a teacher's or supervisor's private notes about my child?">
    No. Private notes on behaviour records, meeting notes, and grading moderation are structurally excluded from every parent-facing view. Only public notes and parent-safe summaries reach your account.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Why does a grade show N/A instead of a percentage?">
    A PACE in progress has not produced a finalized score yet, so it displays N/A rather than a misleading 0%.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can I download or request a transcript?">
    Not from the parent portal. Official transcripts are generated by an administrator on request.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="What happens if I click a report card link that has expired?">
    Go back to the Report Cards page and click Download again to generate a fresh link.
